Proper silicone question

[1boatnut]

I want to silicone glass baffles to make my sump and just want to make sure that as long as I use 100% silicone it will be ok for aquarium use,and I don't have to purchase stuff that is sold for aquariums
I currently have a tube of ge 100 % silicone

Needs to say aquarium safe on label. I just bought a tube a few weeks ago at Lowes

100% silicone is not the only qualification...it must not include "mold-free" in it's description as well...

most people use GE Silicone I Clear Window and Door for there aquarium baffles...GE Silicone II has mold-free inhibitors

Lol...the only reason I question it because after reading the tube it states not for aquariums.
Then I googled it and found multiple discussions from 2-3 years ago,debating the same issue.
Did make me wonder
