We just had a new fish tank built which is pretty large. (2 meters long and 160Gl) so great pressure will be on the seems.

The guy who built it told us to wait at least 10 days before putting the water in there?Does silicone realy take that long to dry and hold or is he over cautious?

anyone a specialist on this?

No specialist but have worked with silicon, aka; RTV(military version),GOOP, etc. for nearly forty years. Great stuff. Almost as good as duct tape :D .

My advise is to listen to the man who built your aquarium. Especially if he does it for a living. The consequences of tearing a seam is too great. Patience my friend and you should enjoy your aquarium for a long time. Besides he may be willing to do repairs for free should the seams not hold after waiting 10 days. :)

Ah, I thought this topic was about Boobs, not fish. Carry on. :):D:D

And you didn't submit a photo for either subject?

I'd listen to the guy who built your aquarium. And 10 days in not very long to wait, depending on what you're planning on putting in the tank you could have a lot more waiting ahead of you.
