The best silicone for aquariums?

[hurricane_redbone]

can anybody tell me what I should use?
I bought some specific aquarium silicone in an aquarium store and I used it to place my front piece of glass but I ran out and i still want to fill in some gaps here and there... If I got normal silicone would that be alright? Like the kind that says 100% silicone...

Look for the silicone that specifically says it's suitable for continous water immersion, the ones that aren't will say so.

O thats all u need? I thought it was a big deal cuz of chemicals or something. Well in any case i got a neutral one that has no acidic characteristics It says its water resistant (and also sea water resistant) so im guessing if its seawater resistant it would be used on things like boats and stuff... so i think its safe to say its suitable for continous water immersion... so ill use that I guess

Yeah neutral cure will be fine just rinse your tank out when it's set just to be safe.

100% silicone should do the trick. i think as long as the VOC is between 32 and 36 it should be OK above 36 is too high, and if its less than 32, then its not pure silicone. dont quote me on the numbers. you also want to look out for anti mold agents and such as they are bad for fish.
