Ge silicone I and II not aquarium safe?

[celebrist]

So, I went to buy some silicone for a project and the label states not for aquariums on both 1 and 2. This is the clear door and window stuff. Has something changed? I thought that GE I was the right stuff but now I am paranoid to try it if they have changed it for some reason. Anyone know what the scoop is?

 

[ehh]

It's to cover their asses. It's not intended to hold hundreds of pounds of water ya know. So, they label it as so.

Edit: they don't want you doing a tank repair, your repair fails, then you say "the silicone said its tank safe, they need to pay to repair my house."

There is a GE1 with mold inhibitors, you must make sure you look in the fine print, and get the GE1 window & door without the inhibitors. As far as I know GE2 is not usable.
I have used GE 1 (without mold inhibitors) successfully within the last year.
