Eer just curious how do your tank ended up with paint?

Using thinner to remove the silicon will mess up your tank, cos thinner melt the silicom. Better to use scaper .

I would suggest scraping carefully with a razor blade as well. Safest for your fish.

Worse case you scratch the tank and have an excuse to go buy a bigger one!
