Aquarium safe silicone

M

Mbodell

The brand we sell states that it is safe for aquariums. I can bring you some to the meeting if you want some. I think they are around $6 a tube.

are you saying you used silicone 2 or that you used the silicone 2 weeks ago? Silicone 2 might leach chemicals into the water. The silicone I sell/used stopped smelling after 24-48 hours.

You do not want to use Silicone II. It's not the smell that is bad...using the right silicone will smell for a while but is still safe for your aquarium. What is bad in Silicone II, and almost all other "construction" silicones, are the antifungal and/or antimicrobial agents that are added. Don't use them. Either use a silicone sold expressly for aquarium use or Silicone I.

I used the (Silicone I) in the above picture 2 weeks ago and still has a smell is what I mean. So the odder wont effect the aquarium at all?
