Silicon Check

Checking the silicone lines in a reef aquarium is vital for preventing leaks, as silicone seals hold the tank panes together and keep the water contained. Over time, silicone can degrade due to constant exposure to saltwater, light, and pressure, leading to potential weak spots or cracks. Regularly inspecting silicone seams for signs of wear, peeling, or bubbles allows you to catch issues early before they become serious leaks, which could harm tank inhabitants and damage your surroundings. Maintaining intact silicone lines is essential for the structural integrity and longevity of the aquarium setup.
