![]() GE 2000 is the best, commercial grade with no anti-mold additives.
Regarless, do not use any kitchen and tile stuff, due to anti-mold stuff. Most tank builers use it. Ken |

Salt and Fresh and never an issue. Mitch at Bowvalley uses GE2000, but sayes that silicone 1 is almost as good. Just make sure that you give it a few days to cure fully before adding water.

![]() GE 1 100% silicone rubber is probably the easiest to find at a hardware store and should be more than sufficient for securing your sump baffles.
