Gumby79 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dow 795 is a great silicone, I used it in my 1600 gal and on my 300 gal build. The place I deal with is Cascade Aquatechand it located in the just off of Piegan Trail and Deerfoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koilady Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 A pond store that sells Atlantic or Savio products will have black fish safe silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgd Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Rvt103 or the equivalent Dow product. Would that be 795 or 792? I'm not familiar with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgd Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 GEll is supposed to have anti fungal additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc_Polit Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Source GE SCS1200 (Black). It is what the tank builders use and has higher tensile strength than even the RTV. 120 gallons can make a huge mess if not contained properly. -05- I have 3-4 of tubes I could part with. I would just charge what I paid plus the Greyhound charge to get them to you. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
