    If you go to a home improvemnt to store to buy silicone,make sure it does not have any anti-mildew chemicals in it. Read the label to find out. If it does,it will probably say not to use it for aquariums. If in doubt,buy it at your LFS. Dow silicone 688 is what is used in most DIY projects.

    Has to be 100% SILICONE, that's all. If it doesn't say 100% Silicone, it's not the right stuff no matter what the brand.

    Just echoing 100% silicone, no anti-mildew agents or anything like that. If you buy it at the petstore it will cost exponentially more, but its the same stuff.
