Has anyone here covered the glass on a tank with black silicone to hide the false-bottom components (PVC, eggcrate) and LECA? I've started to do it on my tank, but when the light passes through it, you can clearly see spots that are too thinly covered. I'm now wondering if this will be ok once the substrate is finally in, because then no light will be passing through the silicone.

How thickly should the silicone be applied to hide everything underneath the substrate?

Yeah Landon, that's exactly what i meant. I was just wondering how thickly i would have to spread it to hide the white plastic because this damn stuff is kind of expensive at $5 a tube. And i have to tell you, one tube does not last too long...anyway, i let the first coat of it dry last night, so i'll just touch up the places where it seems too thin...i'll put up a pic journal once i get a bit more into it...

Coco-silicone back? And is that all pillow moss in the fore-ground?
