Use what the painters use - a single edge razor blade.

I would just sell that tank and buy one that doesn't have paint on it.

Answer 7

A razor blade scraper, available at paint or hardware stores, will scrape the paint off the glass easily.

Answer 8

A razor blade or paint thinner.

Answer 9

If the tank is glass...a flat razor ..like a widget along with a mild cleaning agent like windex...if it is plexiglass you may not be able to get it off ...cleanly anyway. whatever agent you use , be sure to rinse thoroughly and pay close attention not to damage the seams.   hope this helps
