    ahhhh.......that would be an ancient chipmunk recipe that has been handed down for hundreds of generations. way back to when my ancestral chipmunks showed robin hood how to water proof his bow in sherwood forest .......LOL seriously though, titebond III wood glue. it's also what i used to hold about 90% of the coco fiber to this tank.

    LOL! You are too funny! Ahh...I didn't know you could use that to waterproof stuff. Cool Do you like it better than silicone?

    I'll let you know in a few weeks.....lol i figured that since it dries hard and 100% waterproof, why not give it a shot? I even planned around it drying amber colored. That's why i went with the lighter colored grout.

    I should mention that i had read of other people using it to attach coco fiber at dendroboard. I just decided to try it out as a sealer.

    This is probably a stupid question, but should I silicone the pvc in place under the false bottom?
