Is this the right silicone to use?

[mark.a.smith405]

But the aquarium silicone has mold inhibitors? Seems strange. Just google the name. I bet there is already an RC thread about it.

seems like a lot of people had used it already. They even sell this at bulk reef supply.

Absolutely do not use GE silicone of any kind. The Home Depot DAP sealant All purpose adhesive sealant is advertised aquarium safe and for repairing cups you drink from. I don't know why but I wouldn't grab a tube of GE silicone and repair a crack in a coffee mug (not that I'd repair a coffee mug) but the pic is on the package.

Check this link out, especially the bottom where is gives the full MSDS for the GE 1 silicone.

Is this the best stuff to use to re seal the inside of a tank?

This is what I use and they sell it at Home Depot next to the glass section. Even the label description notes that is excellent for marine applications.

I think that is another "marine" they are referring to!

GE #1 Blue as pictured by Six2seven is the one to use.

I made my research on different forums when I first started the hobby, a couple years ago. And I've used it in different diy sumps I've made with no I'll effect. So from my personal experience this works and it's reef safe

That is not aquarium marine. It says to be used above water
