please do the more precise test with glass to glass as my mate swears after seeing this that black is stronger than clear. personally i dont beluieve it. the very first silicone for aquariums was 100% clear silicone though its not quite clear. all the new ones stem from that one. the black one by default has an adative so really should be at least slightly weaker or at least the same. the clear is way easier to use as it gives you about 5 minutes to work with it and the black gives you hardly any time. i suggest 2 polished flat edges glued togeter of the same size glass and a 2mm gap to get a better measure of each colour. thank you .

Thanks for your interest in this. This all started from my experiences with commercial tanks my clients were using. I found that black silicone hid the stress lines that appear in silicone when under it is under uneven pressure. I had to figure out a new way of telling if a tank was going to fail. With clear it was obvious. This is the reason commercial tanks go this way. It's purely cosmetic. Unfortunately, at the moment, I'm very busy and it may be a while before I can get to this.

Love your attitude! The nice thing about live food from these sorts of things, is it all lives in our aquariums. Everything I feed finds a refuge somewhere in a given tank and can be found even if I haven't fed in quite some time. The fish will eventually root them out in some cases, but they do persist. I feed regular food and use live food as a treat. The only fish that get daily live food are fry and fingerlings.

I still like having Duck Weed in my tank it reminds me if I've got behind on maintenance. I don't think I'll have it for much longer as I'm moving on the last few fish removing the heater getting a few Minnows 2 nice pet Gold fish and 4-5 tiny Carp that I'll grow and release into local pond's that have been annihilated because of the release of Mink by activists and exploded in numbers as most waters where well stocked. There's no sign of Mink in my area now and a group of us former members of a angling group are making plans to restock the pond's and their is even plans to farm breed and release our Brown Trout from our area. They aren't officially recognised as being anything special but they are in the late 1950s the river got contaminated and groups of people saved as many fish as possible by moving them into the mill pond's and raised the money to buy new stock to release there's no records of where they originally came from and after decades of crossbreeding with the native one's they have obvious differences that set them apart from UK Brown Trout. Before the Mink you would see dozens of 8-12" Trout in every swim on the river and 5-7lb fish where around it's now rare to see the odd 8" one

Good morning Fishman. Full watch and view! I miss your videos!
Thanks so much for coming by!
Thought of you yesterday when my grandson started calling “goby” baits used for catching smallmouth, guppy baits. Was a bit of a challenge explaining the difference to a 6 year old…but think he got it!
Hey Jim! Got to love having grand kids out on the water. Also glad your season of fishing is going so well.
I still like having Duck Weed in my tank it reminds me if I've got behind on maintenance. I don't think I'll have it for much longer as I'm moving on the last few fish removing the heater getting a few Minnows 2 nice pet Gold fish and 4-5 tiny Carp that I'll grow and release into local pond's that have been annihilated because of the release of Mink by activists and exploded in numbers as most waters where well stocked. There's no sign of Mink in my area now and a group of us former members of a angling group are making plans to restock the pond's and their is even plans to farm breed and release our Brown Trout from our area. They aren't officially recognised as being anything special but they are in the late 1950s the river got contaminated and groups of people saved as many fish as possible by moving them into the mill pond's and raised the money to buy new stock to release there's no records of where they originally came from and after decades of crossbreeding with the native one's they have obvious differences that set them apart from UK Brown Trout. Before the Mink you would see dozens of 8-12" Trout in every swim on the river and 5-7lb fish where around it's now rare to see the odd 8" one
Hey Colin! What weird thought process got activists to release mink?
@@FishmanEricRussell I get that we need to respect nature and animals etc and Mink farming how it was being done here was not good but releasing them here where they don't belong upset the balance more
It's even more weird thought processing when a little more south the people in charge decided to reintroduced Otters and forced fisheries to close if they chose to come on their property 😳
Hey, 3pm and you pop up in my feed! Usually only see it if up at 3am!
