Drying time for Internal Background

[nagukush]

Hi Friends !

I've attached a 3d Internal Background on my new tank. I've attached it with the Aquarium sealant. Its already 12 hours since I pasted the thing... Just wanted some advice on how much time does it require for the sealant to paste and dry completely and when will it be safe for the fishes.

Can I add the water now ?

Kindly advice...
Regards
Kush

silicon? most things say on the bottle. if its silicon the cure time is 2 days i think.

Wait until you can no longer smell the sealant. It will be at least 2 days and maybe longer. If you can still smell it, it is still releasing volatile chemicals that will harm your fish.

At a minimum. Glass Cages recommends 3 weeks on their aquariums.

Can I ask where you got the 3d background? I've always considered getting one.

The official website is at http://www.kandaimports.com but I have had trouble getting into the website lately. I have attached a photo of the brochure from K and A.

You can purchase them at Drs. Foster and Smith. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+6635+18278&pcatid=18278.

I don't have one but my local petstore does and they look amazing! Congrats on your purchase. P.S. 2 days is minimum 3 days is desired wait time for the silicon.
