I am not totally positive but I believe white silicone contains a mold resistant formula.

I think the white in the sump would look real damn sexxy with white equip. (Skimmer etc.)...Hmmm...

Both tubes look identical and are GE 1. Only difference appears to be the colour but I won't be the first to blaze that trail!

I know nothing about GE 1 be it white or clear, I have never used it. I myself would go the safe route and use GE SCS 1200 black, I know where you might be able to get some Brett.
