Hamp Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So, i resealed my tank with API aquarium silicone two days ago. It says that it fully cures in seven days. Should i wait that long to fill it? House has aqueium stuff everywhere and all my livestock is in a makeshift tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yes, definitely wait the full 7 days. Too early and it could rupture or leach toxic chemicals into the water killing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jynxgirl Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I suggest waiting as well. I once resealed a 180 gallon that leaked. I know your pain of having fish junk everywhere but better to be careful. Depending on where you sealed it (outside vs inside), I might even suggest giving it a few extra days due to the temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'd wait 7 days after it stops smelling like vinegar... This seals/dries from outside->in. For the super paranoid, make a test bead, somewhere away from a seam, you can pull/scrape off to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
