What aquarium silicone to use
Aquarium specific silicone from Aquarium Sealants. Going over one of the more popular aquatic topics, which aquarium silicone do I use for tank repair or building an aquarium.
Many times, people will recommend GE 100% silicone. While this is a great silicone, it’s not the best for aquarium applications. Aquarium Sealants is meant for aquariums. How does this make it different than other silicones?
Fist aquarium silicone is FDA approved. If it’s safe to be around our food, it’s safe to be around our fish.
It can handle temp swings. As the aquarium warms up, the silicone doesn’t degrade.
It’s slow curing, meaning longest lasting.
Lastly, when you purchase aquarium silicone, the money used, goes back into the hobby. Not out of the hobby, because the purchase was made at a hardwood store.
