Is this silicon safe?

Is it?

What Number does it sat Silicone II, or I Make sure it does not have mildew inhibitors.

That part about it being mold free makes me think no. You need to look for 100% silicone with no mold/mildew inhibitors and even there's no guarantee. I personally buy the small silicone tubes(online or at the store) that specifically say aquarium safe. Here are a few... Amazon.com: aquarium silicone

Ok cool. I didn't know about the mold inhibitor so I'm glad I asked! I'll just swing by the LFS

Thanks!
