The disclaimer about aquarium use is there only for liability purposes.  GE silicone I window and door is the right one to use.]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2006 18:00:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=96699&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#96699 <![CDATA[Aquarium safe silicon? : FYI - Home Depot no longer carries...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=96322&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#96322 Author: Ghetto Man

FYI - Home Depot no longer carries the Aquarium silicon. I went about a
month ago and they said they don't carry it anymore. I wish I would have
seen this post before and bought 100% silicon. Instead, I spent $6 on a little
tube at the pet store.]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2006 10:03:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=96322&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#96322 <![CDATA[Aquarium safe silicon? : I have read the same thing you...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=96240&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#96240 Author: juan

I have read the same thing you are referring to, but  there is silicone I and silicone II  one of them (i'm not sure wich) does not list aquariums in this DO NOT USE list.

Well, I've been using my tank for almost two weeks and I haven't seen any problem yet.  I'm convinced that the stuff I used will not cause any problems.  Thanks for all your help guys.

I belive that this is to promote the purchase of their "for Aquarium only" product.
 I used the GE silicone II product on my sump, (glued the bafflesin a glass 20)didn't even let it cure for 24 hours, not a problem yetand that was at least 4 months ago.

I may have some bad news.  I went to Home Depot and looked at what they had.  I saw a couple of different products that said 100% silicone.  They were both made by GE.  One was "Silicone 1" and the other was "Silicone 2".  After comparing the quality scale boxes on the back of both products I decided that silicone 2 was better, so I bought it.  I came home and made a slight modification to my tank with the sealant.  Then I begin to read further on the back to see if I could find any instructions for cleanup, and I find a small section of fine print that says "Not For:"  Among the items listed was aquariums!  What do you guys think?

All-Glass contracts out GE to make their silicon. So the  Silicon I stuff they sell is the EXACT same stuff.    ]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 22:57:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=94502&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#94502 <![CDATA[Aquarium safe silicon? : I too agree with Kevin.

I too agree with Kevin.  I've always used 100% clear Door and Window silicone (~$3-$4 per tube).  I'd stay away from the Kitchen and Bath kind because they contain bactericides and fungicides.]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 13:33:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=94437&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#94437 <![CDATA[Aquarium safe silicon? : Thanks for all your help guys!...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10063&PID=94436&title=aquarium-safe-silicon#94436 Author: mountaindrifter

Thanks for all your help guys!  I'll take your advise keodog.  I'll let everyone know if I run into any problems, or if I find out any sure differences between them.
