good silicone for tank

[seanalfred1987]

I just got a new tank i need to reseal. I can't remember if I used solicone II or not. I know I got it from home depot and the tank has been running fine for the past 8 months. I'm pretty sure it mostly doesn't matter as long as you let it air out long enough. Any help?

Id order the aquarium safe just to b sure. I understand that as long as it doesn't contain moldecides ur good but why risk it.

GE II silicon has the mold inhibitor in it and is not safe....the GE I silicon is what I used but it isn't recommended either...you'd be better off using the recommended stuff,especially in an all glass aquarium,the GE I does not have the adhesive strength as the proper stuff...I'm looking for the link to the good stuff

OK,I found the link Buy Momentive RTV108-12T Clear Electro Insulation - 10.1 Oz. Tube at SkyGeek.com it's not that much more expensive and is FDA approved,go with this and you'll sleep better at night

they tell me once you've had black,you'll never go back....I love the look of tanks with black silicon but in my tank,the silicon can't be seen so clear it was LOL

Get ALL-GLASS aquarium silicone, you can't go wrong with it.

My deep blue is black silicone and theres just something i like about it...btw you can go to pet supplies plus and buy either aqueon or all glass aquarium silicone stuff stinks but works great

...60% of the time it works every time
