I have some decorations I would like to make for my aquarium but since it has been twenty plus years since I have had one, I would like to know what type of sealant is safe for use in my freshwater aquariums. Please advise.

Thanks,
Dan

Just use aquarium sealant. If you are not doing a lot of gluing, it would be cheaper to buy a small tube at any fish store. Just let sit and dry for 48 hours or more before putting into the aquarium.

if it says 100% silicone ...than you can use it.

just be sure its 100%

when i re sealed a tank last summer i got tubes of it from walmart for 3$..big tubes..let dry for like 4 days and filled up..did a test run with some guppies all was fine.
