Default 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?

Palmer

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

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

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