Thanks Ross,

I have a tube of Archer silicone from Radio Shack. I read the lable, but
it does not say anything about toxicity. Can I use that?

Please let me know asap.

In all honesty - I'd suggest no. I recently redid the seals on a used
tank I bought, and I found that it is harder than you might think to
find silicone that is rated strong enough for tanks and also is
non-toxic.

It was hard enough that I just bought a special tube at the LFS. I
think it was $8 or $9 for a tube the size that fits in a caulk gun.
Well worth the price to me, but hey, it's your tank...
