Re: silicone ???
i visited with the guy at the lfs yesterday. all he has ever used is plain silicone. he just lets it cure for three or four days before getting it wet. it's been 50/50 on silicone oppinions so far. it's kinda like asking what's the best filter to run or the best skimmer. lol ,you'll ask 50 people and get 49 different answers.

Re: silicone ???
when you consider that you will never have to regularly use silicone i think i would play it safe like hawk. yeah its probably the same but how often are you really going to use silicone. and the price difference is that of a couple snails. big deal

Re: silicone ???
i couldn't believe what i saw today. i went to a place called premium aquatics today, (the only thing premium in there was there prices) and they had the plain old DAP brand 100% silicone that you buy at the hardware store for .99 cents a tube and they had a 12.99 price sticker on it! i thought about hitting the guy in the freaking head with it. that freaking idiot! needless to say i didn't buy anything there.

Re: silicone ???
I have way to much money in mine as well I will spend the extra money. Have not needed it yet. It might have metal of some kind in it. if its not reccomended for aquariums they can leave bi- products in it.

Re: silicone ???
The smell your getting is a chemical that makes it cure faster. After the silicone is dry you wont get anything secreting out of it anyways. Thats my opinion if its worthy! If one were to use the colored kind that would be a whole different story but I cant imagine anyone needing that.
