I've had the worst luck with clearomizers. Basically the metal threaded cap that's attached to the plastic tank has started leaking to some extent. This is the third one. I generally tend to save crap so I tossed em in a box. So my question is, can I use 100% waterproof silicon and run a circle of it on the outside of the tank where it connects at to stop the leaking?
Using aquarium silicone to fix leaky clearos?

I don't think I would. While silicon is used to make bakeware and such, aquarium silicon is a different beast. Have you ever used it before? It takes a long time for the fumes to go away, because it odd-gasses when it dries. When repairing an aquarium, it's generally recommended to wait a week or two before filling and adding fish to be sure none of the fumes will leech into your water and hurt the fish. So personally, I wouldn't want to use it.
If you decide to do so anyway, be sure to get 100% pure, high-grade and make sure it's not the kind with chemicals in it to prevent mold and mildew growth.
