Do not use permatex!!!! I use it on my jeep & that stuff will slay fish. They may make an aquarium safe black silicone, you will have to do a lil research, but make sure it is an aquarium safe product, and dont let em tell you it is, make sure you read it. Form a gasket is nasty, nasty stuff.

This is what you want to use. Black is available--scroll down to see the color chart.
Either GE I or GE II can be used (make SURE it's WINDOW & DOOR---NOT kitchen & bath!)
Many old timers think GE I is a little stronger of a bond..... but it releases a very potent smell when curing and needs to be used only in WELL- ventilated areas.

Do not use Silicone II. It has strong chemicals that kills mold and mildew. It will also kill beneficial bacteria and will prevent them from thriving in the tank. Silicone I is safe and I have used it many times to reseal tanks and build Pl*co caves.

Look it up at ebay. They have all-glass black aquarium silicone for sale.

Yes, All-Glass makes a black silicone. I have an All-Glass 72 bowfront and it has the black silicone seems. I have seen the black silicone for sale on bigals too.

yeah i agree. GE II will kill your fish in 48 hours. i have done it by mistack and cost me big time as i have to strip and reseal the tank.

I am in error. After reading all of the current label information.....Both K&B and W&D versions of GE II have mold/mildew 'cides in them. It used to only be in the K&B version.

note to self, "Stick with GE I only for now on!"

Thanks very much everyone your opinion is very important for me i really surprise about your help.
