Cutting 3/8 glass

[Dez]

A regular glass cutter will do, don't apply too much pressure, one smooth continuous scribe, never scribe twice. Using oil will help. Hope this helps.

Don't you have to take the aquarium apart, to cut a few inches off the top?

I thought that that was implied by the re-sealing. If I could just run it through the table saw as a big box I would but unfortunately I don't think it would be that easy.

Yes, tanks need to be taken apart to be cut glass

But re-sealing does not allways constitute taking tank completely apart. Just cut out the inner bead, leaving joint in tact. Then apply new inner bead of silicone.
