Default Silicon..

However, I'm a bit concerned becuase now after 24 hours I can still
smell the silicon, a rather unpleasant odour. I'm reluctant to put my
piece of art into the fishtank becuase of this smell :P Have I used a
potentially dangerous silicon? should I wait longer than the 24 hours
it says on the package?


When I've used silicon for aquarium projects, I've generally had to
wait several days for the smell to fade. Heck, the new ten gallon tank
I bought this weekend smells very strongly yet. Fresh off the assembly
line, I guess.

Give it some more time, it will clear up.
