goldenbasketreef Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I am with reefnjunkie, too many black silicone being used now days, I doubted if color of sealent will make a diff in strength. Black silicone is more expensive and may be more less available, I think this is more like cost decision rather than strength issue. Joel @ Wave will know more about this subject since he worked with black silicone building his own glass tank quite a few during his time at Wave. I hope he will chime in to share his experience.

The ReefBox Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 So my reason for choosing clear was to keep the tank looking seamless and not framed in, I do like the look of black seams but not enough to look at it everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danlu_gt Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 How did you have the 4 mp40 placed? Were they placed near the seam failure? I'm guessing the on/off would exert 10+? lb of force. Maybe not enough to make a difference since the static force of the water is so much higher.

The ReefBox Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Two on each side on random mode at 60%. Th seam split behind one of the overflow boxes, I don't think mp40 has anything to do with this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
