Good afternoon all,
A few months ago I noticed gunk would form on the silicone down the corners of my tank as well as right underneath it. I assume it is pushed under there from the glass cleaning magnet I use. I use a toothbrush to clean the surface, as well as remove what got under the silicone. Is this safe to do, or does it weaken the silicone and eventually cause leaks? I am a clean freak and always want my tank to look show-ready during my weekly water changes/tank cleaning. Thanks!
