Is this silicone reef safe?

[ChaseB143]

I got this silicone because I’m needing to reseal a tank I just got, but I wasn’t thinking about whether or not it was safe. It says it’s 100% silicone.

No. Ge1 is what you want. You cant have mold inhibitors

Nope..... see the 10 year mold free protection. It has a fungicide in it.

 

[madasahat]

nope 10 year mold proof means it has algiside in it

GE 1 also says on the bottle that it isn’t safe for aquariums

well you can pay 5X or more for the stuff that says aquarium safe if you want I totally get it. but I have used Ge 1 a few times with no issues, many ppl have. that said use at your own risk.

It says that because things that are for aquariums are regulated by organizations...they don’t want to go through the leadings so the HAVE to say that...GE1 is ABSOLUTELY safe
