I just reseald my 7 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot tank and am wondering how long i should let the silicone cure before test filling it??? It doesn't say anywhere on the tube how long.
 
Concur, I normally wait a week also.
 
So a week before i can test fill it?? I won't be adding fish for a long time cuz i don't have all my equip yet
 
give it 2 weeks, a lot of bottles say 3 - 4 days... you in a rush to fill it? if not, what's the hurry. Would rather have a great looking tank, than to worry about it for the next few days :P people who rush things, usually end up disappointed.
 
I waited a month for my reseal but anything over two weeks is just plain keeping it safe, if your not in a hurry its best just to forget about it for a while and come back later on and fill it up slowly...
 
not in too much of a hurry, i still have to get some money together to buy my pump for my diy wet/dry, i was just wondering so i can make sure that it holds water, instead of waiting till everything is ready adn filling it then realizing i missed something and having to tear it all down and reseal it again.
