I foolishly sold my black silicone 20L tank. Does anyone have an online retailer or know a store in arizona with Black silicone tanks? size could be 5,10,20h,20l, and 29.
 
Does black silicone have some preference besides maybe looks? I was thinking perhaps its tougher as I remember black silicone being used on personal watercraft boats and the stuff is super strong as it has to hold the pump intake to the boat.

The only place I have seen them is online or on DIY projects. Unfortunately GE silicone I comes in only 2 colors, clear and white or I might have considered black.
 
yeah thanks but i didnt want to seal a tank i want to buy one already made with black silicone
 
Arizona is pretty big and unless you live near a major manufacturer you can expect to pay quite a bit to order it in your favorite color. I live in Bullhead Az so if it were me I would plan an order buy from "Glass Cages" and pick it up myself when their road show is in town nearby Kingman. In your case having no idea where your located I can only assume Phoenix would be your best bet. You can special order black silicone when you build your tank online at Glass Cages http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2132892

IMO black silicone looks better than clear, but as far as its properties all color variants are the same.

BTW GE makes Silicone I in black, grey, bronze, in addition to clear and white. Here's a link for black:

Wish I had asked the question earlier LOL. I guess I stand corrected as white and clear was all I could find. But it it needs to be special ordered the hard part would be finding it for $4 per 10oz gun tube. Of course at this point the only important consideration in any color is whether GE silicone I will hold back 225 gallons of water, somthing we will soon find out LOL.
 
My local walmart carries GE 1 in clear, black and white
 
I think everyone is missing the point here..

Where to buy a ready made tank in AZ that comes off the line with black silicone..

It may be a manufacturer thing, My 47 bow has black & my 55s are clear. I can remember the manufacturer, and I would need to empty it to read the tag.. sorry
