Aquarium sealer for a calk gun?

Beast1961 · #1 11/08/2007, 10:26 PM

I went to Lowes and HD and couldn't find a single tube of 100% silicone that didn't have "BIO-GUARD" anti-mildew in it.I ended up paying premium at the local big box store.
Who can tell me the name of a manufacturer and the brand they sell thats "AQUARIUM SAFE"?
Everyone of the tubes I looked at said don't use above 400 degrees or on aquariums.
So what do you use and where did you get it??

None of the silicone you see at HD or Lowes will say "Safe for aquariums". From what I have read it is the same stuff when you get 100% silicone sealant like GE Silicone I for windows and doors that has no anti-microbial added.
If you are worried about it you can get a tube of actually labeled for aquarium use silicone at bigalsonline.com for $6. Here's a link to the tube of All-Glass silicone.

EDIT: Just realized that link is the black silicone

OOPS

This is the stuff. DAP also sells one, window and door, 50 year 100% silicone, mildew resistant free. I have used both in the past with no problems.

All Glass aquarium sealer comes in the tubes for the caulk guns. Our LFS has them on the shelf once in awhile.
