I have read so much into silicon the past few hours its stupid, and it seems that the old GE II had the bio seal stuff, but the new stuff doesnt. Most of the people that say dont use it never tired it and wont try it, but everyone that I have read about who used it says it works just fine even with the bioseal on it. So im even more confused now lol

Of course like everything else on here everyone will have their own opinions. I have used recently(within the last 8 months) for 2 tanks, GE Silicone II in black but the version that has 0 mention of mildew resistance or bio seal. It's the windows and doors type. The tanks were a 20 Gallon that i have a small colony of Demasoni juvenille's in and the other a 50 that houses FW angels, Clown loaches, black neon tetras, and a dwarf gourami.

Both tanks have been fine ever since the resilicone job but i will make mention that i did allow a week to cure after redoing it.

This is from personal experience and not hearsay but obviously it's buyer beware all the same.

I found GE silicon 1 at HD the other day, it's hidden on the bottom shelf at the store out here. Not sure if your store's the same layout, but they where hiding in plain sight. I swear they are part ninja or something though... i had to ask where to find it.
