Silicone use for aquarium sump

[AriMiko43]

I am going crazy trying to find aquarium silcone to use to build my sump. I have been to many stores and cant find it. My question is can I just use GE Silicone I Window/Door/Attic/Basement to seal the baffles? As long as I let it cure for over 24 hours before adding water to it, will it be safe? This is the one I got.

that is exactly what i used on my sump and have no problems, any standard silicone is just fine to use on aquariums. If you use what you get in a fish store you are just going to pay more for less.

There are some types/brands of silicone that are not aquarium safe.

Is the one I posted aquarium safe? It says not for use in aquariums but maybe because they don't want people using it to seem a aquarium together and then it burst then causing a law suit against them?

You need to stay away from any type of silicone that has mildew prevention.

Home depot does sell aquarium safe silicone.
