Aquarium sealent
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

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.

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".
