DIY Aquarium repair help.

[arise1dwr]

Hello All,

I have a few older tanks that need to be re-trimme/resealed. Can some one send me a picture of aquarium safe silicone? I have a Home Depot, a Lowe's, and Menards near me so if you could post a pic or brand of silicone thats aquarium safe and I can find at either of those stores. Thanks guys.

You could get away with this
every different brand probably has something that is safe.You want that is for Kitchen/Food safe.

well don't have any pictures but GE I is what i know is safe for tanks have even re-sealed some tanks with it. you want to stay away from GE II because it has anti-fungas stuff on it, it can be used safely but takes about 2 weeks of curing for it to be safe to used in a tank.

Here is a reliable sealant. Though you'll find it cheaper in some other stores.

Sorry to sound rude, but DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT LINKED.


"Contains BioSeal*mold and mildew protection"

the product linked above has mildew protection additives, which are a NO GO for aquariums. you need something WITHOUT mildew protection.

GE windows and doors I. http://www.homedepot.com/GE/h_d1/N-...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 Although, I don't think you will need a case. You can purchase it by the tube as well.
