Does anyone know if the company sells silicone that's tank safe? I need to replace a pump and return line. I live in the middle of no where so I can't get aquarium silicone.
 
I'm not sure why you'd be using silicone on a pump and return line, but GE Silicone I is reef safe. DO NOT GET GE SILICONE II. Now the other important thing is to let it cure (without water) for at least three days....more if you can wait.
 
When i set my first tank up, I was told to use silicone to attach the pump and line to the overflow, so that's what I've always done.
