You guys have a Western Pump on #101, 17950-106a Ave

If you didn't know it uses a different glue that they have as well.

Gregg's Distributors sells it for ~$1/ft for the 1" stuff IIRC.

which location did you go? is it a walk in? or do you need a business license?

I've been to both the south and west end locations. Walk right in, find the part number and tell the guy at the counter how much you want.

If you are going to use GE Silicone I make sure it is Windows + Doors stuff not kitchen and bath! I repeat not kitchen and bath!
Kitchen and Bath silicone has mildew resistant chemicals in it and will wreak havoc on your reef.

I think the stuff at Canadian Tire is a Mastercraft brand if Im not mistaken.

Grrr i was gonna get that! well i guess it's another trip there tomorrow.
how long do i need to let it cure before putting water in the tank. as well is there a faster way to speed up the curing process?

I think for full strength, you have to wait until it is fully cured (~7 days).

dang, thats pretty slow :(
would i be able to speed up the process? using a heated fan?

I have put water in tanks a day or two after the silicone has been done.
Personally I would wait 48 hours.
