DAP silicone
 
i have some DAP WINDOWS/DOORS silicone. it says 100% silicone on the front of the tube. but on the back it says not for aquarium use. it also says it releases acetic acid during cure(vinegar smell) on the box it says not for use on metals or things that react to light acid. is this okay to use on a custom aquarium?

Alot of silicones have an anti-fungal/mildew additive that is harmful.
It may not even list it as there needs to be a certain amount needed to list, but still has harmful amounts.
GE 1 window and doors is what is usually rec.
