GE Silicone Problems..

People that crashes using GE silicone is because they don't wait 24-48 hours before putting back their saltwater.

This is Proper Aquarium sealant Nuflex 333 made for aquarium use and repairs. I bought it through my local glass shop,300 ml tube is 10-12 bucks. Not cheap but I know I'm not going to have any problems.

Anyone know if this is safe, no mention of mildew resistance? Otherwise I am going to coat the bottom of my new nanao with it in a bit ...

If it's GE, I wouldn't risk it. Too many people having problems with it lately.

i wouldnt use it...

That stuff above cleary says " for kitchen and bath " and i was under the impression that they had always used some sort of mold resistance in that variety . whether it was ge 1 or ge 2

i just rebuilt my sump and tank with GE silicon 1 . " for windows and doors"
Clearly says on the bottle " safe for contact with food "
And absolutly no mention of any sort of mold / mildew bs .

I am still weeks away from adding water to the system , but have no intention on cutting it appart to redo .

See what happens .
