GE 1 Silicone

[oscarman2003]

Is this the correct silcone to be using ?

 

[sross]

Yes
The ones to avoid usually have mold inhibitors, or say kitchen and bath For example GE 2 silicone.

Yes, Silicone II is what you dont want to use because it has chemicals in it to prevent mold.

I've used this and don't like it. If you have any moisture behind the silicone it will grow mold. There's a good reason why they put mold inhibitors in it. I'd rather use an aquarium silicone. More expensive but that's what it was made for.

Silicone I will definitely work, but there are better products out there. I really like Momentive RTV 103. It is manufactured by GE and sold through industrial supply houses (I bought mine through Grainger). It cost a couple bucks more per tube, I believe it was around $8.00, but it is worth it.

Aquarium silicone costs $8 per tube.

well i finished resealing the 150. it held water to the half way point for 3-4 days felt confident to fill the rest of the way. Guess what soon as the tanked topped off it sprung a leak right in the middle at the bottom. glad i had 3 50 gal trash cans in my fish room. once tank dries start the process over.
