The other day we had our 120g aquarium start leaking, discovered it was one of the bottom seals that was leaking. We removed all the old silicone with a razor blade and acetone, and we bought ASI aquarium sealant and resealed it. My question is this: how long do we have to wait before we can fill it for a leak test? The package says 24 hours full cure for an 1/8" bead and 7 days for maximum adhesion. We're in florida and the tank has been sealed and sitting outside since Monday afternoon (its been in the 80s here). So can I leak test it after 24 hours or do I have to wait 7 days? I've never done this before and don't wanna mess it up. Our poor fish are in a 40g tote and a 5 gallon tank right now, and I wanna get them back in their tank as quickly as possible without harming them.
