WEKA Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi Everyone. I am about to silicon in the glass sides of my weir to the walls of my main tank. The weir dimensions are 290Lx150Wx580H. My question is what is the ideal thickness of silicon between the edges of the weir glass and the tank wall. I am asuming you do not have the glasses butted hard up to each other. I would really appreciate your comments. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am asuming you do not have the glasses butted hard up to each other. I am not sure I understand what you mean... :-? I have re-siliconed a tank a few weeks ago and it went well! If you don't mind rephrasing your question I'll try to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEKA Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thanks Kim & Dan and Lindyloo Sorry about the terminology but I thought thats what you called the box thingy you have in the corner of the tank where the water runs over the top of and into the sump. It maintains the level in your tank. I am new to this (as you have probably figured) but I was sure someone at the LFS called it that. As it happens I have put it in this morning. I left about 1.5mm between the pieces of glass for the silicon, just enought so they don't touch. Hope you can understand all of this.
