jvision Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 As long as you use 100% silicon and it doesn't contain any mold or mildew inhibitors, you're good to go. I believe Nature's Corner carries black silicon in their pond section, at least it comes in their pond kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trystan Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 i have had success with window and door silicone 2. Do not go with silicone 1 as it has additional chemicals that are deadly to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc_Polit Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It pays to spend the extra $$ on the top brands. Think about the potential for water damage and the cost of GE1200 is well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
