All-Glass silicone??

[vrroom]

Does anyone know any local store (NOVA) that carry All-Glass silicone?

Wally's usually has it.

 

I have also used GE Silicone I (not Silicone II, which has antimicrobial stuff) without any problems.

BRK has the big boy tubes of silicone......to be used with a caulk gun.

Pet co and Pet Smart carry it

that's what I just used to re-seal my 155. It's the same stuff, just cheaper.

I recommend the GE Silicone I. You can get at any hardware store and is cheap. Just make sure it says 100% silicone.

The GE Silicon I (and II) says not for use in aquariums. I see folks are using it anyway -- next time I buy some I guess I save a little money compared to the AGA silicon.

I warn people all the time about using GE silicone. The tube I used did not have any indication on the label that it had the mold inhibitor in it, but my aquarium quickly let me know that it did. I lost a lot of corals/fish/snails because I wanted to save $2 on a tube of silicone.

 

It's not worth it in my book, but I guess I can't stop you.

I agree with you. Just go to Wally's/SuperPetz/Petco, etc and cough up $10-$15 for a huge tube.

Thanks for the warning I think this is actually very good advice.

I'm in the anti-GE group.

 

You can find the AGA stuff all over. The one with the caulk gun works best for big jobs.

I have it.

just finished building a 20L sump with the GE I silicone, worked great. on top of that it was cheap, cause I think superpets sells it for $11 a tube.

I'm using perfecto silicone on my nano project, works great since I don't have a big bulky caulk gun to mess with
