Correct silicone for sealing an aquarium

[algarciajr]

I need to reseal an aquarium, and I am having a hard time finding 100% silicone that is safe for tank reapirs or use. I know a lot people use GE Silicone I but the tube states that it is not to be used for aquariums.

Does anyone know who carries any of the ones below in town.

CRL 99AS Clear Aquarium Silicone Sealant
Dow Corning Aquarium Silicone
or
Perennator Aquarium Silicone

All Glass Aquariums buys all their silicone from GE now ...  hence the new label on the side of tubing. According to the site below, it is still the same stuff. :wink:

Thanks for the info, I used GE Silicone I over a year ago to install a center brace on a 75 gallon aquarium and I don't recall it stating that it was not for aquariums use. A long discuusion on your quoted thread. Thanks.
