Shilo Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 If it's silicon, smells of vinegar and doesn't contain any anti-mould or anti- bacteria additives it's save to use. Most will have "aquarium safe" written on the front or back. kiwiraka and patrickc22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most will have "aquarium safe" written on the front or back. Why does it have to smell like vinegar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilo Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 It contains Acetic acid (vinegar is just acetic acid + water) which helps in curing the silicon. If the sealant doesn't contain acetic acid then it would use other solvents to cure which could be dangerous to the fish. kiwiraka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
