Toirtis Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 For some reason, GE does not suggest 'silicone II' for aquarium use, but they do approve 'silicone I' and '1200 series' (Riverfront, Bow Valley, and Concept Aquariums all use the 1200 series, which also comes in black).

Sam Chicklets Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Aquarium Illusions in Edmonton only uses G.E. 1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Guess I'll find out. Repair done yesterday doing water runs today Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgets Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Can you get GE 1200 at the big box stores? I checked my HD and came up empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'm not sure but Aquarium Illusions sold me some for $16 a tube, which is a little pricy, however at least it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Jorg, hats off to ya man... I couldn't imagine having to do water runs! You are one dedicated aquarium enthusiast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I don't think it is that silicone11 is not for use with aquariums, it is just that it is for windows and door application and so must be labelled that it is not reccomended for usage that would invole something live. That is what the GE rep told me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1foxes Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Jorg, hats off to ya man... I couldn't imagine having to do water runs! You are one dedicated aquarium enthusiast.

Some of the household silicones have anti mildew agents and other additives that are toxic to fish. That is what the GE rep told me anyway Ask him where he got his info from, I went on the Dow Corning site and went through technical suport, and they said none of their product was rated aquarium safe.

That is pricey...you can get it from Calgary Fasteners or CR Lawrence here in Calgary for about $6-$7/tube...I would imagine that Edmonton must have a similar dealer.

Qattarra Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) In Edmonton, the store right next to Aquagiant (sorry can't think of the name right now) , has Nuflez Aquarium sealant 333, for 6.00 a tube. It is recommended for aquariums 400l or less though(100gal). I will inquire if they would bring in the GE stuff if it would be recommended for all sizes larger than that. ....Cascade I believe.
