Any silicone advice?

[Tim]

Just picked up a 44 gallon hex tank that needs new silicone. What is the best to use and where should I buy it? Any certain way to do it or just remove the old silicone and redo it as you would when caulking anything else? Any help would be appreciated.

Rona, Canadian tire sell silicone who is write on the tube "Good for aquarium use"

personnally i try the GE silicone and the Rona without any trouble.

GE silicone changes color from transparent into blue. So, prefer black.
Also used Canadian Tire silicone - no problem, everybody still alive :lol:

Mastercraft doors and Windows
#67-0860-4.

you will see , it is write on it "excellent for aquarium usage"
