I used DAP aquarium sealant to redo some leaking baffles and touch up a few spots in my 30 gallon AIO aquarium. The packaging says cure time is 24 hours. It has been well over 48 and I still smell a touch of vinegar. Not much but some. My question is, is it alright to fill the tank at this point? Livestock won't be going in, the tank needs to cycle. Thanks.
This is the stuff I used: http://www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-2-8-oz-Silicone-Aquarium-Sealant-00688/100128841

Yes you will be fine to fill it with water and start your cycle. Ive built numerous glass tanks and even after a 48 hour cure time i always get a vinegar smell.
