Re: Any volunteers?



I have not seen it marked that way in the larger tubes but I imagine someone sells it in that size. The smaller size tubes can usually be found at the pet store but always seemed overpriced to me. I couldnt justify $25 of sealant to repair an old tank.

I believe the door and window sealant is OK. Anyone know for sure?

Paul, isn't there a GE sealant that's actually marked Aquarium Safe? It's clear rather than white.
