Hey fellow RC'ers how are yall.

Had a tube of this laying in the garage and im planning to use it to secure glass baffles in a sump.

I'd like to know if this is safe to use (reef safe) to hold baffles in a sump.

Exact model:
GE Silicone I* 100% Silicone Rubber Sealant.
Color: White

This same exact model sold on ebay.

It reads not for aquariums but can this be because it needs to cure?


any input would be great thank you very much,
AL.

I have seen people use it and be ok, i wouldnt use it though... be sure to get the one that does not have the mold and mildew inhibitor and use the clear.

I have used about 60-70 times over the past few years and I have never had a problem. I have used in almost every possible way and I only use the clear. You should be A-OK

I hope so. I just built a 120 with it...Silicone II is the one with mold inhibitor

The clear yellows. I have used both the white and clear. White is fine.

I just picked up a tube tonight...lol

Yes it's safe. as long as it doesn't say "BIO SEAL" on it.
