In general, silicone and acrylic latex caulk can be dry to touch within 30 minutes of air exposure-depending on how humid or well-ventilated your space is. But it can take one to 10 days, depending on the formula, for the caulk to fully set or cure-in other words, become completely waterproof and ready for use.
how about 5mm 20 gallon tall? mine is 24 hours already. it was cracked at the bottom so i replaced it and i'm afraid that if i fill it with water too soon it will leaked but my fish needs it badly. my convict pairs in my guppy tank and the eat all the babies and some of the smaller guppies. so how long should i wait. the silicon tube says 24 hours btw but ik that they are lying just to sell more of their products or they give the right info on their tube. any help
silicon is an semiconductor, silicone is the polymer you are using for your aquarium, can you please correct the title and put a note in the description about you said it wrong in the video
@@MajesticAquariumsTV How much more explanatory does semiconductor computer chip silicon.. vs silicone for sealant have to be ? Youre also pronouncing it wrong as well. SiliCON is a computer chip.. Its pronounced Sili cone.. Like snow cone. ice cream CONE.. Construction CONE.. Not sili CON.
Its silicone.. not silicon.. Silicon is a computer chip.. silicone is that rubbery chemical stuff for aquariums bathtubs ect.. Youre saying it wrong as well.. Sili CON vs Sili CONE like ice cream cone. Get it right please lol

For the non believers, concrete takes months to get 50% strength and years to reach 100%. Your words make sense, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Filthy Heathens!
And yet you move into a concrete house after a few days without worrying it'll collapse
15 days? I've never heard of any silicone taking that long to cure
longer for thicker glass tanks
He is absolutely right! specially for big aquariums. thicker the glass, more time it needs.
Lol 4reals 15 days is a joke... maybe 15 days if you have 4 inch thick of silicone
It would take a week for silicone to fully cure to fill water for use.
Great video thanks
Wtf 15 days

Lol and the title has yet to be changed.
@@jonerikpeterson1727 you sound like a yank
Is silicone safe for fish bro... How to remove silicone which sticks on the glass
use a razor blade, just like how you would use it when scraping off algae on the glass
i have a 100 gallon tank how long do i have to wait for my silicone to cure to fill it up
1mm of silicon per day
You mean silicone not silicon.
Thank you
THE QUESTION WAS HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR SILICON TO CURE NOT WHAT TYPE OF SILICONE TO USE OR HOW TO USE IT
Ugh, boomer.
Its silicone.. not silicon.. Silicon is a computer chip.. silicone is that rubbery chemical stuff for aquariums bathtubs ect..
Youre saying it wrong as well.. Sili CON vs Sili CONE like ice cream cone.
Get it right please lol
Dude, we say shit different than them. Get over it 🤣
