Underwater Silicone

[MermaidMel]

Would I be correct in thinking that I could stick a 3D background into the tank AFTER its filled with water using an underwater sealant?

Not silicone, but there are other sealants that work once a tank is filled up.

Like this stuff: [URL="http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLD-LABEL-UNDERWATER-BLACK-POND-AQUARIUM-SEALANT-75ML_W0QQitemZ120314030607QQcmdZViewItem"]http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLD-LABEL-UNDERWATE...7QQcmdZViewItem[/URL].

But it's not very sticky or as strong as the aquarium silicone I've used, I've used it before on filter pipes and repairing a tank, it would be near impossible for sticking a background on, since the background floats.

That's a shame I wanted to add some when I can afford to
Just spent £400 on the tank and bits today and didn't fancy spending another £60

Jeez they made a good job of making that tube look huge Handy stuff to know about in case of a minor leak though! Maybe not long term solution though!
