stuquarium Enthusiast Posts: 262 Kudos: 275 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Oct-2004	hey guys. yesterday went out and got a 4ft 55g tank and stand for 115$$ US new. with cover glass. but that catch was they tell me i shouldn't fill it wednesday. but i was allow to take the tank home with me. i asume they make there own tanks and they just want ample time for the silicon to set and have no leaks right? but how long should that really take? over 5 days? sounds a bit much . i do trust these guys, to me they are one of the the best LFSs in melbourne (mentone aquarium) but is that waiting peroid a little over cautious? TIA guys.
