Can someone guide how to use silicone gel. I enquired at a hardware store they say I have to buy a gun also along with bottle(gun is of same cost as of bottle)...
Also I dont think feviquick comes out in water, I have used it for some non aqurium piping thing.
I am more worried at possible toxic effects on my discus

| Instead of spending money on a full bottle of Sealant and Gun, take the stones to your LFS and ask them to fix it for you. It will be much cheaper. |

Do you mean Dr.FIXIT from Pidlite?If so then the website says "Do not use in fish tanks" 
http://www.doctor-fixit.com/sealant-pro.asp?product=silicon_sealantWX
btw,are all silicon sealants safe for use in aquariums? |
