bad link

Link works well! thanks for the info! It is good because I am right in the middle stripping my new 120. Thank you once again!

Anyone can call a link bad, but without a reason to back up your claim, why should I believe it is bad... Oh and it does say aquariums on the back of GE silicone 1. I even double checked...

 

[dr_sudz]

Is that the kitchen and bath silicone or the windows and doors one?

 

[Dr Joe]

Widow and door. no mildewcide.

 

[born2lovefish]

I believe it is the window and door one.

 

[gomezladdams]

Ge #1 window and door seems to be the most commonly used silicone in tanks.Ive used it to reseal many tanks with good results

*shrugs* I don't get what the whole "truth about silicone" is... someone fill me in?

 

[born2lovefish]

The "truth" is that you can buy the exact silicone for about $3-4 a tube at a store like Lowes, instead of buying it from a pet shop and paying about $10 for the same stuff!!! I have found most aquarium stuff to be like this....
