  • @awinski999 well thanks for coment, and yes I let silicon dry for like a week or more, and the reason i used 55-galon tank is simply to have more water for the system, More water equals less maintence, or should I say if you have a issue with tank you have more time to fix problem , although I have Not had any problem yet with this tank set up.

    Thanks

  • so is it aqarium safe

  • Well man like I said before, Anyone can use what even they feel good with , But as for me and mine I have used all types of 100% Silicon and this white has been installed for 1-year as you can see in my video posting and I have not had any problem ! So you be the judge??

    Thanks

  • damn brother, nice fabrication! i work at a hvac wholesale shop and we sell six different types of silicone, white, black, gray, clear but i gotta agree if it doesn't say "aquarium safe" its gonna f you up sometime down the road.

  • well since there seems to be so much concern here lately on me using white silicone, Does anyone one know what the diferenance is besides the color & price?? Becuse like I said it has been installed for 1-year and I havent found any problems??

    Thanks

  • thats alota dam cocking

    like how many things you use

  • thats alota dam cocking

  • hot and sexsey

  • waste of silicone... like a bead weld you get to a point where it's just a waste and provides no more added strength to the seal...

    Other than that, great job!

  • It does nothing, nothing i tell you.

  • @thepeanutking Acetate. Aquarium specific silicon is acetate-free

  • @thepeanutking 100% silicone is always fine.

    It is same in fresh water tanks, they talk about soap and chloride.

    I always have some soap left on hands (You can smell it so well.), or some chloride that can end up in tank from cleaning glass pipes, I use glass cleaner when I change water, on inside glass even!

    But these % of these things are so low, it does nothing.

    Silicone is same, it is so so so little even if it ends up in tank.

    It does nothing.

  • mkay

  • How big is your main tank?
