I have used ge number 2 windows and doors in the past. How ever i just went to the store to buy some and noticed that now they have BioSeal which is Mold & mildew Protection.

please let me know if it is still ok to use. if it isn't what should i use instead and wear can i find it.

people have been using it and haven't heard any problems. i think someone even called GE about it and found out it was more of a marketing thing.

we accidently put some in a few of our vivs. we havent had any troubles so far.

i hope its safe because the Lowes and Home Depots around here are switching over to it. there is NONE left without bioseal.

I'm assuming the dap brand is okay as well? it has a seal similar to the bioseal of ge's silicon. I bought the dap because it was cheaper.

DAP is great. I use it in most of my tanks. If it is the 100% Silicone DAP (which is the one you should use), it will even say "Food Safe" on the back . . . which is more than I can say for the GE silicones that I have seen.
