Who knows what they use to glue the glass together on an aquarium? Is it Silicolm or what?
 
silicon sealant, many different kinds, i use GE 1 and perfecto sealant when fixing cracks or broken seams.
 
used for both glass and acrylic tanks.
 
Thanks....I asked my dad he wasnt to sure but he said that sillicolm was poisoness to fish

there are many kinds of silicon sealants, for plumbing or metal, and everything under the sun, so there probably is some harmful types that should not be used on aquariums, aswell as some that are just not made strong enough for the task, etc. make sure you buy the correct kind of sealant if you do any work on an aquarium.
 
You still making those custom tanks?

Using sillicolm..........silicon
 
we were working with my dads friends shop making tanks we used the tube he had but it had no lable...he died 2 months ago so me and my dad are starting our own little tank biz...In our garage we have all the tools
 
Rhosodil, makes an awesome aquarium sealant, and its actually labeled as a construction adhesive for making glass aquariums
