That and RTV108/109 are what I've read about being used to build rimless aquariums.

I don't know if it is safe or not, but how much are you really going to save by using DC vs AGA silicone? And is it worth the stress? I had an issue with what was supposed to be a safe GE silicone but for some reason GE decided to start using mold inhibitor in their formula before labeling it on their tubes. Keep in mind this was 3 years ago, but the amount of corals I lost was not worth the $2 I saved.
