Sump Leaking Help!!!

[Skimmer Juice]

you can also get the ge silicone from golds they only had clear last time I was there. This just happened to me a couple months ago, Im still using the tuper ware bin I set up , just going to build a whole new set-up tank and sump . So I guess some good came out of it .. Good luck with everything sucks it happened at this time of year . Also dont forget concepts is having boxing day sale so you could save some cash on a new sump.

If you want to test it that soon after sealing, it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave it open to air outside the stand and run a fan
You need to let the off-gassing stuff out or it won't cure that fast and you'll turn it milky with water, possibly causing it to come apart

Best to wait a few days as Chris suggested, just to be on the safe side
