Hello everyone,
For those of you who have been following my other thread (https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/224218/buying-an-acrylic-tank), I just bought the only 20g long tank from the local fish store. It's made by All-Glass so I assume the quality of it's pretty decent. I've noticed though that the silicone seams on the inside of the tank extend out way further than they need to and it doesn't look very pretty. Do you think I could go in with a razor blade and remove some of the excess, or would that somehow endanger the seams and cause a leak?
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:
The bubbles aren't in the silicone--the tank is currently filled with a very mild bleach and water solution to sterilize it from whatever the pet store subjected it to. (=
Thanks in advance! :happyfish
