    JLaquatics in Coquitlam sell them. You might need to ask them for it as sometime they have it in the back, or you can use GE Silicone I from homedepot or Rona, there are some talk about GE silicone I but other have use it fine.

    I've resealed many tanks with the GE silicone I from Rona or HD.

    Before the bcaquaria crash you would have found tone of posts with people who have used it without problems!

    It is much cheaper than the stuff you'll find at LFS. (have't checked lately). Unless you want the black silicone.

    I'm just about to build another sump for one of my SW tank and ill be using GE I.

    I just checked and GE I is $5.00 at HD and $15 is the price for the all glass aquarium brand.

    The stuff at Rona actually says aquarium safe on the label.

    JL will have the best price and guaranteed Aquarium safe, plus staff that arent half retarded like the big box hardware retailers.

    JL prices
    All-Glass Black Aquarium Silicone - 3 oz. $6.85
    All-Glass Clear Aquarium Silicone - 3 oz. $6.85
    All-Glass Clear Aquarium Silicone - 10.3 oz. $14.95

    HD, Canadian Tire, Rona
    10oz (300ml) GE I is about $5

    The GE is 1/3 the price but my worry would be the chemical odor it has. The Silicon at JL may have the same odor for all I know as I have not used it. If any one has used the stuff from JL please confirm.

    AS far as I have read online the main thing is that it must be 100% silicon

    scherzo stated above that the brand he found at Rona states aquarium safe so it may be your best bet.

    Here is the silicone you want. It is the same silicone sold in the small tubes as "aquarium silicone"
