One very important thing nobody has mentioned yet, is that there is a big difference between the GE I silicone and the SCS1200 silicone. The GE stuff is a silicone SEALANT. The SCS1200 is a silicone ADHESIVE. 2 very different products. If you are just sealing an already built aquarium, then yes, you can use the GE I stuff if you find it in the colour you want. BUT, the sealant has very poor strength properties. The SCS1200 adhesive is what's used for building and sealing aquariums because it has excellent strength properties. The guys that are experiencing failures are the ones using a sealant to build an aquarium. Put the high water pressure on the glass and it will come apart.
