ASI Aquarium Silicon is simply the best. I've looked at data sheets from GE, Permatex, Momentive, Dow, and others and although the ASI is probably actually manufactured by Momentive or Dow, it's specially formulated for high shear strength for the pressures of 750 gallon (>2800 liter) aquariums (depending on the dimensions). It's also cheaper than Momentive 103 or GE SCS1200, and about the same price as GE 1 or GE Supreme. The one downside is that you only have about 5-7 minutes from the time you lay a bead until it begins to set. For small aquariums < 20 gallon (75 liters), GE 1 will work and doesn't start to skin for about 30 minutes.

that's black 100% silicone or marine silicone

HE HAS USED TAPE 1:36

Its mainly experience, but you can do it by cutting an old credit card

If you cut the tip at an angle with a diameter of 3/16, when you press it in the corner, and move in one quick pass, you can usually get a straight 1/4 bead seam that needs no smoothing Can’t wait to build my 7’long x 3’ wide x 2’ tall tank soon, but I will be injecting the silicone instead of bead laying

@@Subi_doo Did you build it? how did you inject the silicone?

@@neeshooff704 I build a 60x 36x 24 and I clamped the entire tank and used 1/16 tile spacers and made sure everything was tight. I injected the silicone between the panels up to the spacers. I let it all dry. Pulled the spacers and filled the spacer hole in. After everything dried for a week-week and a half. I came back, taped 1/4 on each side top side and bottom, and ran my inner seal. It is not imperative that this be done at the same time as the structural silicone is setting. I always do this last and never had an issue.

@@Subi_doo Great! Even I'm thinking of getting into tank building because doing this will reduce the cost of an aquarium by half. Just getting some insights so that I can build good tanks. May take 2-3 tanks to get it right. Also is the spacer thing necessary? What people usually do here is that place the front and back glass on top of the bottom and then the side glass in between them, on the bottom glass itself. Just apply beads and glue them together. Is that fine?

No it doesn’t, it’s super easy Anyone could do it

@@enverse244have you done it probably not cuz you live with your mom

​@@MincedOnionthat gun needs a strong man tbh

@@MincedOnionI have and it’s super easy dude. Go in a straight line and constant speed! There ya go. Notice how he uses his finger to keep the gun level and at the distance he wants. Open your eyes and you’ll learn.

Hola, lo estoy pegando enfrente del vidrio inferior, vidrio de 10 mm.

Tinted glass is usually a plastic film- and yep that works. It appears he used a black vinyl

Grazie, si, puoi scrivermi su whatsapp

I'd recommend keeping 1mm a side for the silicone

yes

Teşekkürler, evet rodajli

same question

You want to apply right away so that all silicone flows together to create a good seal.

@@kornbred1653 Thanks. What about when you are re-sealing a tank? How is that different?

@@SureshBopitiya I,m planing to make my own huge tank and plan to weld a metal frame to fit it perfectly in my home. thinking abote 3D printed Inserts to creat a stronger seal in the corners.

@@SureshBopitiya it is better to apply all at once so it joins together but resealing is no problem if you properly remove the old silicone, it is really important to remove the old silicone and you should also remove that silicone residu that can stay behind when you remove the old silicone

the thickness of the glass x2

@@darodrigu1206? So if I'm using 10mm glass I leave 20mm for silicone?

@@darrenwicker4881 Sorry Darren I misread the question, I actually use the same as the thickness of the glass, to stick the glass to each other, then I eyeball the thickness of the joining bit leaving it as thick as possible to avoid leaks.

Sandpaper

@@rameshtonjam4300 edging machine

Not a professional, but if it’s thick enough or you think in hold what ever amount of water you are thinking. But I think people mostly use acrylic or plastic on smaller aquariums

It reduces the chance of water leakage.

Kullanılan şeffaf silikon ile aynı, ikiside sista akvaryum silikonu

Hi , Sista aquarium silicon

Silicone gel

bende evde 140 litre bir akvaryum yaptım ve tüm camların taban camı üzerinde olması gerektiğini düşünüyorum. anladığım kadarıyla yapıştırma sırası daha kolay olduğu için videodaki gibi yapıştırmak camcıların işine geliyor ama statik olarak dengeli bir yapı olmuyor yani cam bağlantılarına zeminden binen stres yüzünden patlama ihtimali var.

The best would be 8mm but it's better to have some supports at the top for stability. If you are willing to spend more for additional safety and avoiding the supports, you can go for 10mm but 8mm will also do fine with supports
