    Guy,

    From your expert opinion, which is better? I mean the joining of the tank glass using white or black silicon..

    Thanks!

    i believe this is more of a personal preference.
    if you select black silicone, you'll probably need to check the workmanship more closely. any imperfections will standout.
    however, a well-done silicone job gives the tank a sophisticated look. you can check out eheim's juwel tanks

    my opinion is that if your cabinet is dark colour, black silicon will be nicer.
    it up to each preference...

    Juwel is under Eheim? I know both German companies but do not know it is under the same group.

    I think for serious aquascaping, better to go for white/minimal silicon. Otherwise, black looks nice and cool. Oh, and Juwel tanks are solid!

    Don't mean to nitpick, but I think you meant CLEAR or black silicon. Have not seen people using white silicon in their tanks thus far.
