how do I find out if the silicone I have is aquarium safe?

[ser_renely]

It is from Pro and called "general purpose 100% silicone, All weather protection, clear.

How would I go about finding if its safe?

That's only/really on the ones made for aquariums he is talking about the GE 100% silicone

 

[ser_renely]

says food surfaces, does not say marine safe.

where would I find out if it doesn't say on the label about fugi stuff?

As long as it is 100% Silicone and does not have the anti-Mildew chems in it, you should be fine!

I live in a 3rd world country, so this is what I have until I order some....which will take a couple weeks to get here.

thanks for the help guys

it says 100% silicone, but thats not enough for me at this point

I picked up one at the hardware store that said "Safe for Aquariums" on it. Maybe it says it in small print somewhere?

 

[ser_renely]

no, but I have read it it says food surface safe it can't have fungi stuff in it...will continue my research.
