That's a good question & for me it's simply because every where I have seen actual aquarium silicone it's a very tiny tube priced anywhere from $9.99 - $16.99. SCS1200 is around $6 and 3 time the size.

Ya, for me the price is ridiculous, and the tiny tubes are useless if you're building anything substantial. I'm lucky because my LFS carries tubes of GE 1200, and I can go to SeaStar and buy it there. I also have a couple of HW stores around that sell generic brands that are marked as aquarium safe.

+1 on using this stuff. I and everyone I know uses it, it specifically says it is aquarium safe on it, it works great, and a 3 pack (contractor size tubes) is about $10 or $12 from Home Hardware.

Yup from Home Hardware its around $11 plus tax for 3 tubes (they sell singles for like $6). Used this on my euro bracing and I know some tank builders that use it... Sounds like a done deal.
