what is better to use on glass. i was at an auction on saturday and got a chest/dresser sort of thing and in it were some nice picture frames that i gutted out just for the glass and was going to make caves out of them so is it better to use silicone or hot glue???
hot glue vs. silicone

IMO, there's no reason to not use products specifically designed for aquarium use. Especially if you're unsure of how your fish may be affected. I wouldn't want to risk my expensive live inventory over a couple of bucks.
ohhhh im not trying to save money i was just wondeing, i mean ive used it before i was just wanting to know what would hold it together the best
^^^ lovin the avatar bro, if it wasnt for the death of stonewall jackson IMO we would have one the war and those people wouldnt have to have died for a lost cause 
anyway, silicone seems way safer then glue

Silicone on glass, make sure it is aquarium safe. If you have items other then glass you may want to try this stuff;

GE Silicone I works great. When picking up silicone make sure it DOES NOT contain anti fungal/mildew agents.
Hot glue generally loses its adhesion properties every the time. It's a form of wax, so provides a semi-permanent or semi-temporary hold.
