Is this just the company being extra careful or have they added something in the last while to it that makes it unsafe for aquariums?
I did the same as you, all the silicones at Rona say not for aquarium use. Decided to go with the All Glass from J&L. Worth the extra $ for piece of mind. BTW it cures way slower than silicone I.
