Paul76 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I was looking on their site I think I found the one u are Talking about Have you heard of Bostic Rhodorsil V2 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have used Selleys Glass Silicone as it is an acetic acid curing silicone and is for aquarium construction. It is the one Buccal recommended. http://www.selleys.com.au/sealants/silicone/glass/The Bostic V2 is also suitable for aquariums as it too is a acetic curing silicone. Other brands to look at are GE and Dow CorningHB Fuller produce a acetic aquarium safe silicone called HBF 620. If is was to do another tank I would probably look at the V2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccal Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 If your building or reconstructing a tank bigger than a 6x2x2, then considering what type of silicone is best is reasonable.As larger deeper tanks need careful thinking and joint strength.When building or reconstructing tanks of 6x2x2 or smaller,, looking at better quality silicones with minimal extra strength is neither here nor there.

Ged Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Paul all the ones mentioned will do the job. Have a look at CRL of Sydney (9 Shale Place Eastern Creek, NSW (02) 9851-3444) as the supplier of V2. I would give them a call and they may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
