GE Silicone 1 cure time

[Thomas11dog]

How long should I let my silicone cure before I add water and plumb into the existing system? Tube says 12 hours but I don't want to screw up anything in my existing system

I wouldn't use ge1, it has mildew inhibitors, not reef safe.

72 hours before adding water.

It doesn't say anything about mold inhibitors on it. Says it's FDA approved

I just put baffles in a 125 gallon tank to make a sump for my 180

GE 1 is the "Reef Safe" silicone of choice. I normally give it a week of cure time.

Ok cause I bought 15-20 pieces of sps out of wwc sale and wanted to get it up and running before the corals showed up
