I've used it for years. with frags as well
Lol, no problem, the question popped into my head too, thanks for asking it [emoji106]You use silicone for frag plugs or to attach to the rock? How would you compare that to super glue gel? Sorry to hijack, but the OP’s question seemed answered. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip on cutting.Yep will work great. Enjoy your sump build. Remember to cut the baffles a hair smaller to make sure they fit. Not to small just like a 1/32" smaller than the tank
I planned on doing glass to glass. The local shop here is a small town mentality and i can get pieces cut for next to nothing.works just fine. glass to glass is best, but even if its class to acrylic, it'll hold fine as long as it isn't under any net pressure.
Any comments on this little tid bit ?If you read the last line of the instructions, it reads "Not for use below the waterline or in Aquariums." That is pretty specific and would be a deal killer for me.

Thanks, that's what I was wanting to know.GE dont want the liability for people using it for aquariums. That was not its intended purpose. However most tank builders use it, I have used it with no issues. A little peek on this forum will show countless people on here using it on their currently running systems. You must let it cure thoroughly. It says in those directions allow 12 hours but always give it 24 hours to be safe. Also take into account the colder weather we have right now that will effect cure times greatly.
Makes sense, I would do the same in their position.GE dont want the liability for people using it for aquariums. That was not its intended purpose.

To be honest, the DAP aquarium silicon at Home Depot is only $4 and is more than enough to do a sump. I used GE and nuked my entire 125 4 years ago and after the fact read the very fine print that said “mold inhibitor”. I’ll happily spend the extra $2 from now on.
