Buying materials to create an aquatic

[Sallermander]

The only thing really is... What kind of silicone do I use?

I live in America, so in Lowes or Home depot, can you guys please name like the actual brands, and the style from that brand? If you name just what ingredients to avoid, I might just get paranoid about skipping that ingredient and thinking it doesn't have that (I have done that before, not with pet materials thankfully, just with food)

Also for the curing, I believe three days? Require any spraying? Dry air curing, right?

Petco sells a silicone that claims to be safe for aquariums, flipping expensive though

Also any special stones you guys would recommend for the hide?

(Stream-like enclosure, current, low plants, and the sort)

Have a look for aquarium sealant / silicone on ebay. Over here it's the best place to buy these cheaply.
Our DIY stores generally only sell the ones for bathrooms etc. which have antifungal additives. The "pure" types which are safe for aquaria are labeled as such.

That's the silicone you need unfortunately. Pet stores normally sell small tubes for repairs and the like at high prices. Here in the UK you can usually buy aquarium silicone in large gun cartridge tubes from specialist glazing shops or as Eva suggests online from aquarium suppliers or ebay etc. It'll be half the price as Petco.

I tend to used slate stone in my tanks. It's usually flat which makes it perfect for stacking into hides, although watch out for sharp edges - they can easily be sorted with a few blows from a hammer. River stones can be very decorative but their rounded nature makes them difficult to stack safely.
