Diy aquarium rain gutter caves.
Today I picked up 2 vinyl rain gutter outside corner pieces and made some caves out of them. I used sand paper to rough up the entire piece and then I used silicone 1 and applied gravel/sand mixture to cover it inside and out. They are sitting to dry now. I am planning on putting them under some of my flat rocks to make them blend in well and hopefully not be seen at all. What do you guys suggest for the silicone curing time? Have read 24 hours?

I usually wait 48 hours to be safe.

I have repaired a few tanks and made a couple of sump filters over the years, nothing too creative.sluyterbp wrote:Thank you. What kind of projects do you make? I just started on diy.
