65 gallon rebuild

[Lalo J.]

Thanks guys, can someone explain to me how they are used?

 

[Sprinkle]

sure! just put them deep (depending what plants you got) into plant roots and let them be

I suppose that obtaining the bag with 10 tablets will be enough if I intend to maintain low requirement plants? Although there is a bag of 40 tablets, dougall had mentioned that Seachem substrates are inert but that they work well retaining nutrients from root tabs, is it possible that a combination of these two products will work?

 

[Sprinkle]

should work so dont worry.

Thank you Sprinkle

The back sump is almost ready, I just have to fix a couple of details, I found that silicone in my job, it's gray silicone, does anyone know if I can use it for the tank?

looks fine to me, just let it completely dry. id do it for 1-2 weeks tho to stay on the safe side.

NO! DO NOT USE THAT! It says on there it is designed for high torque applications and up to 625 degrees fahrenheit. Normal silicone is good for up to 300 degrees F and is not recommended for high torque apps, which indicates the stuff you have there has been modified, most likely with an additive, and cannot be trusted for aquarium use.

To be on the safe side, don't use anything except clear, 100% silicone with no fungicides or other additives. I use this stuff:

Loctite Aquarium Safe Silicon

Thanks WYite, don't use it. Unfortunately today I lost my halfblack angel in the 10 gallon tank, I have few "valuable" fish for me now, rethinking the idea of going back to the tank.
