    I think Dow 795 is the norm. You might wanna call your local lowes or home depot to see if they carry it.

    Aquarium specific silicone is going to be expensive. You can use GE Silicone 1 from HD/Lowes, or you could use Momentive RTV 108. I have also used Permatex RTV you can pick up at Auto Zone. RTV has a higher tensile strength and is used for building tanks, GE I will work, but it's not as strong. Grainger may have some RTV in stock.
