I'd like to know that too...
I always end up buying the All-Glass silicon.

I think the one I use is the ge 100% silicone I ... The sillicone II has the anti mildew and mold stuff... I wouldn't use it to build a tank but for securing baffles it works fine..

Buy the stufff that is for windows no anti mold and mildew, I do hear it is getting harder to find though.

OSH has aquarium silicone. Cost only couple dollars more and you don't have to worry anything ;D ..

This is the supposed to be the best silicone you can buy for the aquarium. http://www.amazon.com/GE-SILICONE-RTV108-Clear-Silicone/dp/B000LDI8FU/ref=sr_1_1/105-7066798-6566840?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1188526927&sr=1-1

See if anyone has it locally.

Yah, that is good stuff. We use it at work. That particular formula(108) doesn't have any extra mold inhibitors, chemicals, or pigments. We get it direct from GE.

It's a lot stronger than the All-Glass silicone too. The first time I used All-Glass, I thought I had a bad tube because I was so used to the RTV108, haha

Ah...
I've only used to put in baffles. I'd never notice if it leaked.


Is the RTV108 clear?
