    Fish safe silicon?

    Just wondering if anyone could recommend any silicon to use to seal pipe work and a viewing window I am cutting into my IBC fish tank? Is there a special "fish safe" silicon I need to use or will ordinary roof and gutter silicon do the job? Also do I just use standard PVC glue on pipe joints?
