Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't use any silicon that has mold inhibitors added......probably won't end well.
Looking ahead now that would be a smart idea. The only issue is I already used it, just trying to see if I need to tear everything down.
I would not chance it. You will be placing lots of sensitive livestock in your system. I know the idea of doing isn't fun and it's a set back but you want the right foundation...
They don't make the plain old ge silicone 1 anymore, its relabeled to this one apparently. At least that's what they tell told me at lowes. All the ge silicone 1s say 7 year mold on it now.
That goes to show you the last time I used that.....maybe 5-7 years ago. The reason is that I've been using this:
I have used the original GE silicone 1 in the past but the last time I looked for it they no longer carried it. I don't know if what you used is the same stuff just in a new tube or not, but I wouldn't trust the word of the lowes employee. They also have no possible way of knowing if the formula was changed or not, they would just know that is what they started getting instead of the old tubes.
I don't think you would be able to tell. I don't know what chemical that it puts into the water that is harmful to inhabitants but I'd be willing to bet it isn't something that a normal aquarium test kit would check for. I wonder if it is even something that would show up on an icp test.
