I'll have to check some of the other home depot stores for the DAP.  The one I went to didn't carry it.  Home Depot also stopped stocking the GE Silicone I.  All of the silicone they sale either says "not for aquariums" or "mildew resistant".  I also checked Lowes.  They carry GE Silicone I, but it does say not for aquariums.  I'll keep looking and post something when I find I place to buy it.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:56:07 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218704&title=what-silicone-to-use#218704 <![CDATA[What silicone to use? : I forgot they had the small tubes.The...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218579&title=what-silicone-to-use#218579 Author: unixnum1

I forgot they had the small tubes.
The problem is I go through alot of it when I do tanks so I like to buy the big cartridges for the calk guns.

The problem is all of the new stuff they are bringing in has non-mildew stuff in it which is bad for tanks.
I had been buying the stuff from HD, for years until they started adding the anti-mildew stuff

I have some of the HD stuff too, it's DAP brand. Grey tube, blue writing, black band around the top inch or so of the tube.  Good luck :)]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:31:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218468&title=what-silicone-to-use#218468 <![CDATA[What silicone to use? : I&#039;m sorry, I don&#039;t remember...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218457&title=what-silicone-to-use#218457 Author: Kynneke

I bought some silicone from Home Depot that was marked "FOR Aquarium Use", it was over by the paint actually.... that was only a few months ago so maybe try another HD and see if they have it?]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:10:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218427&title=what-silicone-to-use#218427 <![CDATA[What silicone to use? : I&#039;ve heard the silicone I...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218426&title=what-silicone-to-use#218426 Author: Slick Eelie

I've heard the silicone I is safe and silicone II is not.  I just wanted others experience to verify.  The GE Silicone II tube states "not for aqaurium use".
Thanks for the information.  Fortunately it is my sump that leaked and not my tank.

I use GE Silicone I for doors and windows on my tanks.  As above make sure whatever you use does NOT say mildew resistant.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:18:55 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24335&PID=218400&title=what-silicone-to-use#218400
