Silicone

So I need to spend 10$ on a bit of silicone at SP or can I use the home depo stuff? Im assuming they have tank-safe stuff for a reason, but of course they also try and sell betta water  :roll:

Robin you can use ANY silicone that states it's "aquarium safe'.  You can pick it up at any major hardware store.  Picked up a large tube (caulking gun size) at Canadian Tire some time ago but don't recall the price - wasn't expensive though.  Not sure if they carry smaller tubes.

I bought large tubes of aquarium safe about 5 6 dollars

I'm using CT mastercraft silicone"Window and Door" 67-0860-4. Just check that it is transparent, not white.
I only wish they have black silicone in the hardware stores

That mastercraft stuff was the only stuff I found that was aquarium safe! Thank you!

One of the GE Silicones is safe... I believe GE I.

GE II (if I'm not mistaken) specifically says it is NOT for aquarium use... so I'm assuming that omission on the GE I means it is safe for aquariums

Hi
I have been using CT silcone for years with no problem. They recently changed the color of the tube.
And it under $5
Make sure you let it cure properly ( at least3 days)before adding water
