How do you reseal an aquarium? - how long does it take aquarium silicone to dry
I have a 55 gallon tank that I bought, and now has a small leak. I try to avoid buying a new tank and replacement of my wood floors were ruined by this nonsense. So my question is: how an aquarium can be sealed with silicone? How long does it take to dry? And how can I be sure it never happens again?

Get the silicone in a pet shop or aquarium. The others are important and ammonia is harmful to fish. The easiest way is to either keep up with the finger or an ice cream on a stick, and use of silicone-room, where the two panes of glass. It is best done by hand are far from being 100% positive that the leak. Allow the container to air dry for at least 24 hours. Never do this with the fish in the tank, even if the damage is higher. After the silicone is not dry, clean the edges with a razor blade, but be careful to cut, or open again, fixed the hole. If you are unsure of each step, it is better that the aquarium also Petstore (or if) the shell that make it a little all the time and be terminated at any time. (From GoodThis is .. If you now, clean it and try again.)
I want someone who knows how to do it right, rather than have it myself.
O, .. Call your local animal ... or if you have received, in general ... Is someone who is willing to leave the house to ... To help people with bigger problems .... Tank and you can tip ... or something else.
Good luck.
.. more ... I do not know if theres fish or not, ... or water or something ... but ... If you do not want this "stupid", which again filled with water, why not in a terrarium?
Be sure it is empty first.

increased use of silicone can be bought at the store ahrdware confused with it. Mailing with your fingers into the tank with his finger squeezed during 24 hours
What else do I tape and silicone are found in fish stores ... not funny!
In fact, it was for me again. When I saw a flight immediately strip around the block, and it worked.
Now the band was put water on the silicone. As simple as that for me!
You need a special aquarium silicone ... Thus, in a pet or fish mortality. Instructions. I think it dries in less than a day or two before you can get in the water.
You really need to clean the glass, including scraping with a razor blade and alcohol. The silicone tubing will give you everything you need. It would probably be better to go into a store aquarium if you live in a fairly large city, or it on eBay.
Silicon, you can save in hardware. If you know where the leak is in a position to recognize the seal. You can also use a small pearl in the existing seals for added protection. It is very easy to do. Read the drying time of sealer on the label. It usually takes several hours to dry, but 24 hours to cure completely.
If you have at Walmart to examine whether the filter to fill an hour on the glass (cut Sucker) milk, I noticed a leak, but it was my filter. He was going to drill holes in Wasent, I have some background information on Placticamos holes when you should be in the field a number you can deposit or send a new tank, but you pay shipping.
You buy things that the earth with FULLY SUPPORTS pool cover, and set to work 4 me!:)
Honey, I've never seen a tank big enough for a stamp.
