Ive heard to use this for siliconing projects like sump baffles etc, but on the bottle it says not for aquariums.
Is it ok to use for a baffle? Is it just refering to the main seam of the aquarium?

I want to use it to modify a ac70 into a refugium. Im assuming it is ok since it is the ge1 all purpose silicone in the blue bottle that is 100% silicone that everyone says. Im thinking it is just not for main joints or it is just to protect the company if it doesnt hold.

Is it ok to use?

I recommend using DAP aquarium silicone for any aquarium use so you don't have to worry about toxins and other stuff plus the DAP website helps you find stores around you that sell it (but you have to go to the product description of the silicone).

i used this with my 10g. sump. it was strong enough to hold it together w/out any bracing(no rim or euro) or baffles in place yet. i give it 2 thumbs up
goodluck
