Craigslist deal

fishnatics · Nov 22, 2014

Just picked up my new tank off craigslist. Got a very good deal. Question is that the inside side have no silicone at all. There's silicone on the bottom. Silicone between the panels look good. Now is it safe to just go ahead and fill it up without the silicone or should I put silicone on and be on the safe side? Thanks mfk'ers

I would add silicone to the inside to be safe. It might be fine but that's a lot of water pressure to be messing with.

Thanks Looks like I gotta make a stop to get some silicone. I'll seal it tomorrow and by the time I come back home after Thanksgiving, Hope its ready for test fill.

Yeah. Dont get too impatient. I would wait about a week. That's how long I always wait. Trust me it's worth it

I think a few days is usually long enough to wait for a test fill - just wait til the strong silicone smell is pretty much gone. Also make sure you get GE Window and Door, NOT Bath and Sink. Used that stuff once and the first month or so it seems to be mildly toxic and had a bunch of fish died.

Make sure the glass is completely clean before applying. I wait 48 hours, good luck

All sealed as of now. Now it's a waiting game till I get back from Thanksgiving.
