I don't know the validity of that statement. I guess I need to get off my lazy but, toss on some cool shades, and make a trip down to our local Petco and see what I can see.

Look at the windows in your car with polarized sun glasses. You need to be looking into the sun and move your head from side to side. The checker board pattern you see is the proof of the pudding.
I just picked up a 50 gallon tank (48x12x20") for $10 at a garage sale. It passed a leak test, though the silicone looks pretty shady. Against my better judgment I am stripping out all the silicone and re-sealing the entire tank using your 'GE Silicone 1'. Tomorrow I am ordering a diamond hole saw set for $7.99 from Harbor Freight Tools 1-800-423-2567. Thank you for all your help, wish me luck on the drilling (and sealing)!
