I would use 100% silicone. you can get it at the local Hardware store. And this same thing works for resealing too.

as long as it 100% pure silicone with no additive there is no problem using it. one of the most popular brands among diy fishkeepers G.E. II silicone.

personally i use the home brand silicone from the neighbourhood home hardware store. its cheap conveniant and marked as safe for aquariums.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

Just to clarify for us in the UK. 'normal' silicone sealer (like bath sealant) has an anti fungicide in it that is bad for fish, so buy either aquarium sealant or 100% silicone sealant (no additives)
