Where to find reef safe silicone in Vancouver?
 
I know I can get it at J&L but I feel like I'm paying double for it there. I know I need a silicone WITHOUT mildew resistance but I'm curious as to what brands people recommend and where they got it from.

Cheers,

K

Any petshop has it.

6-7 bucks. For a couple dollars more, I like the peace of mind knowing it's safe. And honestly. It's cheap.

Ge 1200 hands down

Call your local industrial supply store, or fastener supplier

any hardware store. Unless you want black, that's harder to find

Way harder to find, especially in the smaller tubes, and unless you're building a decent size tank, probably not worth the effort.

you're lucky! I always have trouble finding black. Last time Home Depot had it in GE II, so used that. LFS has small tubes af GE1200, but they charge about $25.
Large tubes of 1200 I can get direct from SeaStar aquariums.
