Pegasus Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 LL asked: Pegasus ... I wonder if SubZ made the same assumption as me - that no prices were mentioned and therefore it must be EXPENSIVE! Bill said in his post: ..... for something you could get for under thirteen bucks Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I use Selleys becaue it is acid cure, suitable for aquariums and the cheapest at Bunnings. Each brand behaves a little differently and therefore people making lots of tanks will have a preference for what brand they prefer but if you only want a wee job the cheapest suitable one is good for me.

Barrie Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Most silicones are OK to use, A lot (includeing the one that I use) say not suitable for tanks for one reason only, and thats because the testing hasnt been done (I confirmed this today with my suppliers). I have used Dowl Corning 480 black for all my tanks that Im building at the moment (25 in total) with out any problems but remember to leave plenty of time for them to set properly (I give 2 weeks) The cost of silicone should be no more than $10 but 480 or 580 should be able less than that. Is one better than others, I dont really know but I use the ones that are use in high rise buildings and have confidence in them Hope this helps a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
