Ehaze · 07/14/2007, 10:55 AM

Can i use it or does it have to be "For aquariums only"?? please anyone thanks..

I made my sump last night, due to me wanting to see it run so bad, it busted :/ so now i am going to seal the HELL outta it and wait the FULL 48hrs

Only Ge I door&windows or 1200 are safe, if it say mildew resistant, it's bad

Yeah make sure it's just silicon the can say 100% silicon if the silicon is 100% but it could be 99% 100% silicon with 1% mildew resistant.

it says 100%

its the cheap stuff, the lady did not want to by the level 2 or level 3 silicone (witch hold VERY well), All i can say is that it burns my eyes really really bad, it stings my nose.
