Aquarium sealent

[galad]

I am in the processe of building a semi-aquatic Vivarium.
I have already spent $20 on the actuall aquarium crap at the pet store for one tube.
Are there any types of sealant at Canadian tire or walmart, that are safe to use? Bath and kitchen stuff?

I almost done I just need to attach some mosses and coco fiber bedding to the rock wall I have made.

thank you in advance

Yeah, it will say right on the tube "aquarium safe". Make sure to get that one.

Cool thanks. But do you know what store sells that? What brand is it?
Is it the kitchen bath kind? How much are we looking at for a price?


thanks

Any home store sells it. WalMart, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware...any of them.

It's usually under ten bucks for the larger tubes.

All the kitchen and batch sealants are not intended for aquarim use. :(

GE I is the right stuff. It will read "Not safe of aquarium use" but it is the right stuff. Instead of looking for this warning, look under its composition and if you see an fungicides, don't buy it. The aquarium sealant is a just repackaged and sold for more. In fact, many aquarium builders use GE I.

I just took a look at the package. The 300 mL tube of clear sealant reads: Window and Door, Silicone I, 100% Silicone Rubber. The UPC is 5902800600.

I should have also mentioned before that you will be looking for "Window & Door".

Can you take a pic of it when is done. I'd love to see it. What kind of frogs are you housing in it?

[galad]

Yea ive been taking some pics of it while building, but I have run into a snag with low funds. The low funds is good in away, gives me time to study and find out for sure what I am more comfortable keeping. lol

But it should be done in about a months time from now. Im thinking about maybe some dart frogs or something along those lines.

And I have also just purchased anouther 25 gallon tall tank.
So when money kicks back up again ill be building a second, which will probably be 100 times better then the first lol.

peace
