HELP!! wrong sealent used in construction

[harvey84]

Hi,

I have been building a WTF Paludarium and have used the wrong sealant in its construction. My background is EpiWeb, I have picked / cut off all the sealant I can see but am concerned that there may still be residue left behind or that some of the sealant may have fallen into the middle of the Epiweb where I can’t see it.

I contacted the sealant manufacturer and they told me that the sealant I had used was defiantly not safe to use for Vivariums / Aquariums.

what I want to know is now that all visible sign of the sealant are gone how dangerous will it be to WTF if I put them in it in a month or 2 once I have cleaned it again and cycled the water by repeatedly changing it?

The EpiWeb background is expensive and I don’t want to buy replacement if it is avoidable.

Any help / advice would be greatly received.

Cheers

i would just consider that setup a terrarium, unfortunately.
