Re: 1000+ questions :)
Gentlemen... a milliliter is one thousand of a liter! So that 947ml bottle is almost a liter and the next one up is a gallon or 4x as much. Think next one up is a 5 gallon pail and that one is a bit of an exaggeration for our needs
. Lija, I get them by liter bottle; but my source is 5 min. drive away. If planning to build more tanks or redo others, that gallon bottle might be the way to go. Good luck
!

Re: 1000+ questions :)
Thank you Carlos! Glad there is somebody to teach these two lol
i will get a that 1l bottle then, i just need it for my current tank. Anything bigger would be admitting im screwed and am planning on other builds lol which i am not.... Not at all...

Oh the q - will titebond adhere to already done silicone/coco background to fix if needed?

Re: 1000+ questions :)
If there is exposed silicone it will not stick to it.
You may want to get 2 bottles of it. You will most likely end up needing more to cover up spots that are a bit thin after the first coat.

Re: 1000+ questions :)
Ok people major problem here, im putting everything on hold for now. It is possible the tank is leaking. It was with water for 2 days and i see quite a bit now around the edges. It wasnt here yesterday, so it is also possible it splashed today from connector ( i saw it). Right now im draining it, checking the bottom, drying everything, filling it up again to test it for leaks again. Damn it i should have done it before i started everything.
Anyhow. If it is leaking how to waterproof it now? I can silicone it from outside around the bottom and edges. Yes? No? Any other ideas?

No. The internal silicone would need to be removed and reapplied. Silicone on the outside would hold it for a little while, but it's only a band aid. Eventually water will seep behind that silicone and leak.

How to remove internal sillicone?

Razor blade. Slice it off. You won't be able to get the stuff between the glass, inside the seam, but a new bead should hold it. The downside is, you may have to reseal the entire tank since silicone won't bind to silicone. I would make sure it's leaking first, then if it is, call your tank builder and express your displeasure nicely (flies and honey darlin

Re: 1000+ questions :)
ugh that sucks! Yeah I would do what you are doing. Drain, Dry the outside and then refill and watch it. Sometimes water can run down the glass and into the frame on the bottom then when weight is added to the tank the glass presses on the frame and squeezes water out. Hope it isn't a leak.

Re: 1000+ questions :)
Yeah, im gonna call the tank builder, just not sure i'm able to express it with honey lol
yep, decided not to wait/test/whatever, have a long history with murphy laws, so, ripped all bottom, taking silicone out right now. Oh well it is what it is. Lesson learned - water test first even a new tank. Funny part i was always doing it before, one time i skipped it out of excitement and here you go.
On a bright side - nasuta tank can be finished off

Re: 1000+ questions :)
Ok update lol
as you know i scraped all silicone from inside up to higher then water level can possibly be, then put more silicone then i probably should have, after waited for it to dry out and filled tank with water, higher then water level will be.
Right now, 48 hours after it is NoT leaking, meaning with your help i finally did smth right! ��
so i just took all water out, wait a little bit to it to dry and then full on with false bottom and the foam!
