reptile tank to fish tank?

[Hwom91]

Not sure if im posting this in the correct section but here it goes.

I have what i believe to be a 120 gallon tank. I will post dimensions later. I got it with a snake i bought a while back. It has the center brace so im sure its a fish tank but i worried about the silicone. The silicone used was black and if im not mistaken that generally means it was meant for reptiles?

I was wondering, if i were to reseal with aquarium grade silicone if it would be able to house fish? The glass is .25" or slightly bigger.

black silicone does not denote a reptile tank. I have black silicone in many of my fish tanks. I believe the glass is typically thinner in reptile tanks (not sure)... but the silicone color does not matter.

yes black silicon does not matter and yes you can silicon a glass center brace on your tank i have seen it done many times

well it has a center brace already. i may try a test fill and see how it goes. it turns out it is an 80 gallon tank. so now i just need a hood for it.

Test fill it definetly, then post if it holds leaks whatever
