Losing Corals fast...question about GE Silicone II

[tinman]

i just go to home hardware and purchase tubes of their brand (weather shield) 3 tubes for 20 bucks, maybe it is ge, don't really care says right on the tube safe for aquariums been holding back 200 plus gallons of water and rock so far. i've used it on all sorts of aquariums for years and never had any trouble, call me crazy but i know what works for me. just my 2 cents.

I'm with tin man. I bought the green tubes from home hardware in a 3 pack and it says aquarium silicone right on the tube. Have put together many tanks and dumps with it and never had a problem. It is also very low in cost (about 14$ for 3 tubes) and readily available.

Hi Shelley,

Tank was shut down last Thursday and corals were placed in a holding tank. Nothing has died since they were placed in the holding tank and they seem to be doing better but it will be a while before they completely bounce back.

Thanks for inquiring.

Just putting my overflow together this afternoon and I am totally amazed on how very little of smell/odor the SCS1200 silcone has. Kind of makes sense why its reef safe.

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure the 1200 isn't silicone, I thought it was just a silicone like adhesive...I could be making that up though..

Hmm, just looked it up, and it's called silicone, so shows I know nothing -lol

You are correct as its a construction silicone adhesive!
