Black Silicone Information

Black Silicone Overview

Black Silicone offers a different look for glass aquariums. Black Silicone is used to hide algaes and dirt that accumulates on silicone and are hard to remove. Clear silicone is the most common used type of silicone and tends to show algae and dirt and can absorb dies and tints that are often found in medications. Clear Silicones advantages include that it comes standard at no extra charge, is less noticable on side seams and is readily available to replace inside seams of older aquariums. Black Silicones advantages include that it hides algaes and dirt, matches black plastic framing on most glass aquariums and gives a framed look to the front glass of the aquariums. Black Silicone disadvantages are that it is more noticable and black silicone is an additional cost.
