silicon

Hey all so cleaning up the tank and everything points to this just being minerals, salt creep hard water. The tank wa setup before no issues prior to me having it now. Flashlight test didn’t show any glaring gaps or noticeable issues. Interior seems smooth, but figured I’d ask!

Alright I redid the plumbing on my emergency drain (tank still full and occupied and overflow full of water up to the drain). The bulkhead has always been a bit finicky with some salt creep. After redoing the plumbing below the bulkhead, the bulkhead now has a very slow leak. I’ve tried...

Hello All, So my RODI system is a good Commercial 7 phase filtration system that does 300gpd. However, I just had my water tested and my Silicon & Copper are high in my RODI water test. My head is spinning from everything I've read online so I figured I'd try to come here and get a consensus on...

Hello: My Triton ICP test (test link) is showing incredibly high amounts of Lithium, Potassium and Silicon (worth noting that I also did an "ICP-Analysis" test before this one within a week apart and without any water changes in between and that also showed high Lithium and Potassium) Triton...

I did my first ever ICP test with ATI and they gave me the opportunity to test my RO water as well. Everything came back as expected except it showed the presence of Silicone. I change out all the filters on my Express Water RODI unit just like they recommend, so why do I have this in the...

I was wondering if anyones had success using a dab of silicon on their suction cups? I know magnets are prefered, but I just don't have that options ATM. Would love to hear people's experiences. Thanks!

Hi. First time poster here. I purchased a new 50gal tank and stand a week ago. Was have it a look at the tank to see how it’s settled on the foam pad, while doing so I noticed some bubbles in the outer silicon close to a corner at the bottom, inner seal is fine. Not sure if I should get it...

Quick and to the point I used this silicon to secure my baffles. https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-10-oz-Silicone-Cartridge-GE-55/202038071 But now I'm doubting my choice and wanted either the ok that it's good or someone to tell me it's wrong. Doesnt have anything in its specs about anti mildew or...

Hi everyone. I just posted a couple days ago about an emergency I was having with my tank. All my fish were dying after switching to a new sump. I thought it was because I switched the sand, or because the heater was up too high which killed off the bacteria; however, I found the culprit. I...

Hi all. I have a new tank with a supplied sump that I want to modify. The modification is to remove a glass partition that is siliconed into the sump. What is the easiest and safest way to cut through the silicon and remove the partition.
