resealing aquarium

McPhish · Sep 1, 2014

So I just picked up a 4x2x2 120 aquarium for $35, but it needs resealing. What BLACK aquarium silicon sealant do you guys recommend? Also you guys recommend this?

You'll get people who disagree with me, but stay away from the GE I and II, both are garbage for sealing a tank. You want to go with RTV from Grainger. For black you want RTV103-

This is your best choice for resealing the tank.

No problem with ge 1. I resealed a 110 tall tank with it and had it running for w year before I sold it to a friend who all has it 3 years later still holding water
