Trouble removing center brace

Heres the deal, I have two 110 gallon oceanview tanks both with center braces. I would like to remove the braces to make the tanks into holding tanks by adding 3-4 baffles from front to back. In most cases I would just use a razor blade to cut away the silicone and tear out the brace, heck alot of them just fall out on their own, but in this case oceanview was very precise when they put the braces in and I cant even get a blade inbetween the two panes. Anyone have any suggestions of a solovent that would dissolve the silicone or a method of cutting the brace out? Im tempted to take a blow torch to them in order to melt the silicone, I tried a heat gun but I dont think it was hot enough. TIA
