This being said I couldn't find anything about anyone ever having any problems with Silicone I but plenty of problems with Silicone II.

GE will never say that any of their products are aquarium safe for liability reasons. As mentioned the GE SCS1200 has been used by an aquarium builder that I personally know exclusively for 15 + years as well as I have used it myself and there have never been a problem. Stay away from products that have mold inhibitors in it as this will kill everything and GE's silicone II probably has chemical in it. GE silicone 1 used to be safe but I do not know for sure if it still is as they may have included chemical to it also.
