I really want to do a background for my tank out of styrofoam. I've got GE type 1 for windows and doors, and the styrofoam and am designing my background. I read somewhere that heaters shouldn't be near anything silicone'd because the heat weakens silicone. Is this true?
If it is, how far away from the silicone is safe?
Does this also apply to where the glass of my tank is sealed?
Does putting your heater behind the styrofoam prevent it from heating the tank properly if you leave lots of holes for the water to flow through?
