Hello,

I have made a 244 gallon tank.
It has 10mm thick glass
It was build with black 100% silicon kit last Saturday and has almost 8 days of drying now.

How long does it take before i can fill it?
 
I waited 2 days, then 2 days test fill to make sure no leaks. So 4 days ago it should have been inside your house :)
 
Eight days is definitely plenty.

What are the dimensions? 10mm glass seems a bit thin for such a big tank, but as long as it isn't too tall you should be fine.

Sounds like an awesome tank - any pics? :popcorn:
 
Hello; Eight days should be more than enough time. Silicone cures from the outside in. As it cures it will become more firm to the touch. A thick bead takes more time to cure than thinner beads. Press on a seam of the silicone, it will be firm when cured.
