I have read, read, and read about the different silicone's that are ok to use for aquariums. I have this GE 1 but the label looks different from the other ones I saw posted on here. Maybe a new label idk. Anyway, is this still safe to use for my sump? TIA

They have changed the label. As long as it does not have that anti mildew stuff in it, it's the correct one. Just needs to be 100 % clear silicone.
 
It is safe but it has very poor tensile strength... I recommend momentive rtv 103 or 108 formerly ge... It has the strongest characteristics and is what tank builders use...
Just to add ge 1 is more of a sealant than a adhesive....
