Losing Corals fast...question about GE Silicone II

I would recommend using it as long as you can find it.

I just bought mine yesterday for $6.79 a tube and it comes in black also #1203. It is a silicone "construction adhesive" not a "sealant" like most. By far the best product out there and I would bet all tank builders use it.

Where did you buy it and is it black?

Is it black?

Yes I bought the black- #1203. I bought it here in Regina from a construction supply place called brock white

There used to be a Brock White in Burnaby -- Lougheed and Willingdon area. If it's not there you could try somewhere like Fastenal or Acklands.

Acklands Grainger should have Ge1200

or look up any store the Trade/Builers go to.

The stuff from Home Hardware was Clear. Didn't look to see if they had any other colours,
