grubby Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I have no affiliation with ALDi, just like their stuff, all we have in common are German roots and I don't mean that backpacker from Munich back in 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[MENTION=3726]grubby[/MENTION] - I am definitely not having a go at you - don't get me wrong on that side - good on you for liking something and being keen to get your hands on it, that's a good thing. It just reminded me of the ad. No malice or sarcasm intended all in jest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPA50 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hey guys what's the benefit of silicone tape? What would it be used for? Sorry to ask, I'm new to aquariums and trying to learn as much as possible. I can hit up an Aldi in underwood this morning to score the deals so I thought I'd ask first.

Cheers Silicone tape is a non adhesive tape that when used, bonds to itself to create an air tight, water right fix. I personally have used it on a small leak and worked wonders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
