Home Depot or Lowes should have it. I believe it is Silicone I. You can use any 100% silicone but make sure it doesn't contain any anti-bacterial or fungicides and you let it cure completely for at least 24 hour or more. You can also get one's specifically for aquariums at most any fish store but it cost a lot more for the same outcome.

The stuff I found was with the rest of the silicone. It came in a blue/green tube. It was specifically labeled as aquarium safe.

GE Silicone 1 is the exact same stuff and is only $2 per tube instead of $10.

Make sure it is not kitchen and bathroom silcone.
Regular old Silicone I is the way to go.

Make sure and get 100 percent silicone... not a mix or a caulk.. silicone remains pliable when caulk doesn't... Does anyone know anything about GE II for a premium silicone, not GE I that's is standard silicone? That's what the boxes said

I almost bought the GEII because it comes in black, does anyone know for a certainty that it is or is not safe to use?
