Hi everyone,
I was adding baffles to my sump and had read on the internet that GE Silicone 1 is safe to use in aquariums. But before I used it I emailed GE to find out for sure. Below is the response I received. Their response was that it isn't safe for aquarium use due to mold inhibitors. See email below.
I used Weldon for acrylic, but I'm not sure if that is safe.

Hi,
Can you tell me whether or not GE Silicone 1 is safe to use in my aquarium? I am using it to silicon some baffles in my sump.
