Despite common disbelief, yes it's fine...

The Kitchen & Bath version has an ammonia based mold/mildew inhibitor... The 'BioSeal' contained in GE II is completely different...

If you are unsure it is best to error on the side of safety... but if you are unsure (or assuming, or repeating what you read from someone else qwho is assuming) it's best to let someone else answer

If you read the packages GEI is rated to adhere to glass better than GEII...

The only advantages GEII holds is it comes in a variety of colors...

The label on GEI says "not safe for aquiarium use"... This is just a way for them to protect themselves from responsibility when people misuse their product, it is aquarium safe...

That came out a lot more arrogant than I meant for it too...

sorry..guess I should have said: "this is what I used when I resealed my 125 gallon two years ago and have had no problems since". If it were me, I would err on the side of caution.

i prefer DAP 100% silicone over the GE but both work great.
