Sump silicone

[margaritaville]

I picked up some (Loctite) clear household silicone, indoor/outdoor waterproof adhesive/sealant. Is this safe to use for the baffels in my sump?
Thanks for any help!

I'd only use silicone that says "Aquarium Safe" on it. If you read the fine print, some will say that. Be sure you don't use one that is antifungal or antibacterial.

Really, I was more worried about pvc primer and glue Thanks though

Ya i know, easier said though I live about 1 1/2 hours to one. Maybe just wait till this weekend. I wanted water in it by then!

as long as it is 100% silicone you are OK. Just be sure that it doesn't have any fungicides or mold inhibitors in it and you are good to go.

Loctite clear silicone is the one. but check with the manufacturer to make sure it is marine aqauarium safe.
