Canadian Tire has tubes for $6.99 clear or black. Any silicone is 'Aquarium Safe' once dry, btw... Just don't use anything with a latex base. While it's fine and will not result in toxic leeching into your tank, I have not had much success in repairing leaks with it over time. It seems to break down if it has long-term immersion, whereas silicone does not (if done right). There is an AB aquarium manufacturer - who needs not be mentioned - whose silicone jobs are consistently terrible, and anytime I repair a tank, it is invariably one of his... Make sure you squeeze out any air bubbles to get a good seal, and you'll be fine.

Cheers!
