Which Silicone to reseal a fish tank

Handyman1

Hi Folks

I need to reseal a 6' x 2' fish tank, Seen a video on Youtube which shows how its done and what they used to do it,

The thing is it was a chap from the USA that did the video and the clear silicone he used cant be found here in Ireland... least I couldn't find it,

He said to use only 100% silicone with no additive's but I don't want to kill my daughters fish by using something toxic... Also don't want to buy a dozen little tubes from the pet shop As that was all they had,

Can anyone please tell me if it's possible to get a bigger tube that I can use in a silicone gun without having to buy online, Time is short

Thanks in advance for any help.

It’s black though.

Trans7 (it's the clear version of Tec7)

Thank you both for your replies, I went and got the Betta from an Aquarium place this evening €14.95, Cost more than the one in the link But I needed it, I got the clear tube but think the black might look better so might change it... As I was writing this I Phoned my daughter and she agreed that black might look better So black its gonna be

I will look into the Tec7 should the need arise again but I would imagine it cost about the same as the Betta,

Thanks again for your help :cool:
