Believe me, I do think about what i post.... More than you know ( for several reasons)...... I'm glad that cost wasn't a factor for you, but fact is, 90% of everyone tries to save here and there.....sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't........whether its cost or eastetics, when it comes to DIY, I feel it's best to go with something marketed for aquarium use......

its frustrating when you do the research./ get advice but it turns out to be wrong. Its not a cheep hobby and the beauty in it and time invested, make it horrible to get knocked backwards.
Theres some wrong or dated information out there especially if the chemical manufactures are changing formulas.

I am on my way out to the fish store but I'll go to the one on Kingsawy first. Boxing day sale is still on at this place and I am hoping to find the Silicone there and a bucket or two of IO salt that's selling for $29.99 right now I'll go to J$L if I can't find aquarium silicone at this other store. Oh, and I need black silicone.

Thanks for posting that info

If anyone is paying the extra money for the All Glass Aquarium brand of silicone I might be able to sell them a bridge also!

Ya, 15 bucks is a lot to pay for a $5 tube of silicone. Especially if it's not black

I think that I'll try to get this one. Pretty pricey for such small amount.

I have used the GE I without any problems, because I think it says pure Silicon. I have also used Lepages from Canadian Tire and the Rona brand because do say aquarium safe.
