Thanks, My Glass company did say they could bring it in for me. But I thought there was a off the shelf (Rona or HD) brand I could get.
I'll look at HD for GE1200 Thanks again J |

Pretty sure HD doesn't have any aquarium safe silicone. Rona shelf is usually a mess, so I don't go there often.
Home hardware stuff is good for aquarium. I used that myself, still have 1/2 the tube left.. Send Jim to pick them up from me.. Lol

If you are building a tank, for the outer glass you need structural silicone. The stuff from big box stores is a sealant, not a construction silicone adhesive. For baffles and stuff like that, the cheap stuff is fine (as long as it does not have any antibacterial or antifungal additives). But for building a tank, you gotta use something like GE1200 that has a high shear rating.

Absolutely, make sure your using a construction adhesive silicone not a sealant.
Ge1200 series is what you want if your building a tank.
