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.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
what a waist of a 55 gallon tank. nice job though. and no white silicone does absolutely nothing. as long as you let it dry long enough

@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.

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??

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.
