    Default Re: Safety of Acrylic silicone?

    Honestly, I don't think the problem would be toxins(not 100% sure), but I think acrylic caulk type products deteriorate faster than 100% silicone caulks, cracking after a while. I'll look more into it, but hopefully another member who is more familiar with the stuff chimes in.
    In the meantime I'd hold off on adding them to the tank until after you're 100% sure. Better safe than sorry, right?
