There is a lot of talk about this in aquarium forums. If you are unsure or don't trust anyone, you would buy the aquarium sealant from a pet shop. However, GE Silicone I is the same stuff just packaged differently. There are 2 kinds, doors and windows, and bathroom. The bathroom one has a fungicide and is not usable. The doors and windows is fine. You just have to make sure it doesn't read "mildew resistant". Silicone II is also acceptable as long as it's not mildew resistant. It is actually a stronger hold in dry air (like 4 times or something) but it is very poor under water and quickly peels off.
One other note, silicone sealant always reads "Not safe for aquarium use". This is to avoid liability. I use Silicone I and II in aquaria with no ill effects even after 5 years. And fishes bathe in whatever leaches out of silicone sealant. Mike Silicone I is silicone rubber and good. Silicone II is 100% silicone with other latex derivatives, if I understand it correctly. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 2:56 PM Subject: [gecko]Silicone > Hello, > > I need to repair a small leak in one of my rain forest vivariums.
