Best aquarium safe silicone sealant?

[Chrisplosion]

Going to Home Depot in a half hour to look for somethings. Can you tell me which is the best aquarium safe silicone sealant? Need to seal up a broken tank I got for free, http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=365655

A lot of people keep saying just seal it and it would be fine but I want to patch as well just for a little piece of mind. What sealant should I look for?

GE Silicone 2 (which is actually noted as ii on the applicator can)

GE Silicone 2 (which is actually noted as ii on the applicator can)

Silicone II is the one with bioseal(anti bacterial/fungal) in it this has the potential to leach out into your tank water (potentialy, it has never been empiracily proved to do so) But play it safe though and use GE I (which does not have bioseal)

So silicone I is good? Any other opinions?

Your right, thanks for the save there.

BEST = GE RTV silicone.

Adequate = GE Silicone Windows/Doors I

Good luck!

If you're using it for a structural application, GE 1/2 is not the proper silicone. They lack the adhesive qualities that RTV has.
