Ha! No just regular windows. Commercial window wall systems that seal to the building elements (plaster walls etc.) are water tested (a mock up and then a portion of the windows). Usually the test actually involves inducing negative pressure at the back side of the window. A spray bar is used on the exterior face and usually run for at least 20 minutes at a prescribed pressure. All this to test for potential leaks one might experience in a heavy storm. All the window seals and the sealant from the frame to the building need to pass the test. Window systems also weep water but this is not relevant to aquariums.Are these basement windows? Or windows that could possibly be underwater?
I’m not questioning if it’s necessary, just surprised that it would be required to cure for so long on something that doesn’t have water pressure on it.
I’ll try to focus on how I’ll be rescaping the tank to keep me busy. I was getting tired of how it looked before so this has made the perfect excuse to redue it all.
So if you want to totally seal something to hold water, then you are talking serious business! You don't want your hard work to fail the test (when you fill the tank)!
