I have some rocks I plan to silicone together, but don't know what to use.
I have Power Grab adhesive, it says "water clean up" and is fully set up in 24 hours, no ingredients, nor does it say 100% silicone
I also have some GE Silicone II. it says 100% silicone sealant and the ingredients are some siloxanes, treated silica, and some silanes, with a VOC of less then 50g/L..... but under "not for" it lists aquariums. Is this due to potentially toxic chemicals, or because they don't trust it to hold an aquarium together?
Help?

Re: Rocks and silicone
What you want is GE Silicone I (not II). Silicone I is perfectly safe for aquariums, whereas Silicone II uses anti-bacterial chemicals (I believe), which you definitely don't want entering your tank.
So go with GE Silicone I.
