Matthew Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi All, I am wanting to build a tank and was hoping to use the black sealant, trouble is the only brands I can find have the sealant in clear only, or if it is coloured they don't recommend it for aquariums as it has mould inhibitors added. Does anyone know a particular brand that is safe for aquariums? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliolli Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 you can buy the juwel aquarium sealant which is black. Anyone that stocks juwel aquariums should be able to get it for you. Here in chch i bought it from redwood aquatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
