starting barebottom tank

[thecoralking]

putting starboard at the bottom do i need to silicone if i dont will it float

 

[crazylegs]

It shouldn't float. I wouldn't silicone.

 

[thecoralking]

should the starboard be a certain thickness i have 1/4 inch

 

[crazylegs]

that's good. It's main purpose is to prevent any type of damage to the bottom glass. Pressure points from rocks, racks, etc. No need for anything thicker.

 

[thecoralking]

thank for the advise

silicone is to keep detritus from getting underneath and is a common practice

 

[crazylegs]

Definately a common practice, but it's a little perminant. I would rather have the option of easy removal if needed.

 

[stpauli914]

I would rather know that detritus was not settling under my starboard.

+1 for silicone.

Its not permanent and is easier.
