Aquarium safe silicone?
 

Hi,

I have to re seal a bit in my tank and have read that it is important the silicone is aquarium safe. Is this true? And if so where can I get some aquarium safe black silicone?

I looked at their site and I didn't see anything aquarium specifc. Which product are you recommending?

I believe you can use normal sealant but have never tried it?

Great thanks!

As long as it is 100% silicone it is OK just make sure there are no additives

Home Hardware sells thier store brand silicone which has "Aquarium Safe" written in bold letters right on the label.

If you have a Rona there they carry aquarium safe silicone.

GE door and window #1 is 100% silicone and aquarium safe. Available pretty much anywhere and runs for about $4 per tube.

make sure it doesn't say "mildew resistant" on it!!
