Losing Corals fast...question about GE Silicone II

[tim the toolman]

I'm with tin man. I bought the green tubes from home hardware in a 3 pack and it says aquarium silicone right on the tube. Have put together many tanks and dumps with it and never had a problem. It is also very low in cost (about 14$ for 3 tubes) and readily available.

Hi Shelley,

Tank was shut down last Thursday and corals were placed in a holding tank. Nothing has died since they were placed in the holding tank and they seem to be doing better but it will be a while before they completely bounce back.

Thanks for inquiring.

Just putting my overflow together this afternoon and I am totally amazed on how very little of smell/odor the SCS1200 silcone has. Kind of makes sense why its reef safe.

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure the 1200 isn't silicone, I thought it was just a silicone like adhesive...I could be making that up though..

Hmm, just looked it up, and it's called silicone, so shows I know nothing -lol

[tim the toolman]

has anyone actually built anything with the new formula scs1200 and had it hold underwate for any durtion though?? I have been told that the scs1200 though it is a silicone it is not long lasting when submersed for long durations??

Your half right there Brad, it is a silicone but it is made for industrial construction.

You are correct as its a construction silicone adhesive!
