Iv'e personally never used that brand. The only thing you really need to know is it must be 100% silicone and NOT have any anti-fungal or bacterial additives in it. I just finished resealing a tank the night before last and used GE 100% silicone.I have used it in the past with no issues. It says right on the tube"not for aquariums" but it's BS since they just want you to spend more on the Aquarium only stuff and charge you 3 times the amount. 100% silicone is 100% silicone as long as there's no other additives as mentioned.There's also a sticky on this subject.Reading it is more like sitting outside of a boxing ring because everyone is fighting about what's better etc but as long as it's 100% silicone its fine.

DAP is the stuff man. Better than GE IMHO and lasts forever. Just be sure to clean the old sealant out, new silicone wont stick to old.
