Default Database Of Aquarium Safe Silicone (Add Your Aquarium Safe Product)

On another forum I had created this topic which was of help. I'll post this topic here so it might help the SW folk.
might be a good sticky on this forum too! (hint hint)


Updated: Started list of 'Death Tank' products. Know of anymore? Drop me a line so I can add it.



I've started this topic in hopes that a neat and organized list be compiled of aquarium safe silicone. Such info is spread all over the internet in many different forums and posts.

When adding your own listing, please include the following:

1. The product name in text form
2, A picture of the tube that shows the name of the product
3. A picture of the product's use area which states 'safe for aquarium use' or of similar
4. A picture of the product's upc

I've mainly asked for pictures as it is more quickly referenced than a text list of names and numbers. However I also asked the products name in text form so that specific brand can still be found with a search.

If you have this information and don't want to post yourself, pm me with pictures and I'll add everything in this one post with credit shown as to who added what products.


Order in times of posted or pm'd with info.
( special note: please take under consideration using a product as a sealant / product as an adhesive and choose the best for your purpose, a tank repair or a full new tank build...a kind reminder by jcdg)
( special note: please avoid anything that says mold resistant or similar)

Products suitable for aquarium use




1. GE 100% Silicon 1 for Windows and Doors (kindly added by jeremoose and Sprucegruve)
http://www.caulkyourhome.com/ge-sili...w-and-door.php





important tip on GE Silicon 1 by jcgd
(While GE1 works just fine and is safe, I would personally not use it for an adhesive for assembling aquariums.
Any other use, go for it, but be clear that is is a SEALANT and not an adhesive.
For building aquariums I recommend an adhesive type silicone such as Momentive RVT-108. If you want black try RVT-103.)

Products not suitable for aquarium use
aka 'Tank of Death' !




1. GE 100% Silicon II for Windows and Doors
http://www.caulkyourhome.com/ge-sili...w-and-door.php
This is not recommened as it has a mold free additive which is deadly in an aquatic environment.
