Silicone

Is the 100% silicone from HomeDepot still usable for making repairs and tank/sump builds?

i tried many different silicone from different places, the one i recommend and i think is exactly the same as aquarium silicon are the one that says Doors and Windows. They cure harden up in like 30min to an hour and pretty much can be used right away but i still say wait half a day if you are inpatient to a day if u want to be 100% sure.

100% silicone and no mold/mildew resistance stuff on it.

Read the label. GE does not recommend their silicones for constant water immersion. Be sure the label says for aquarium use.

There is a dap-it brand silicone at Home Depot that says aquarium safe on it. I purchased it about a month ago.

I have a great one which is made up of mostly calcium carbonate! Give me a minute to find it...

wat can i say, i used this silicone on my 20gallon for 8 month now, 0 problem whatsoever. I think the labeling is for the purpose of, if, anyone misuse it would not sue the company. I am currently using it on my 72bow as well. Just my experience.
