why black silicone?
in the construction of the tanks i have noticed everyone specifying GE typeII or II and being quite specific on the fact they used black. does that carry any signifigance or is it an aspect in the cosmetics?

More of a Cosmetic thing. If You did a background using the Yellow Expanding Foam...ie "Great Stuff"... it will standount out alot if you miss a spot if you use clear silicone. If you coat the Foam with Brown or Black you can tell where the silicone is and if the material used to cover the foam misses a spot it looks more natural.

ahhh ok that is what i was figuring but wasnt sure i notice alot of people saying it was nearly impossible to find type I in black and myself typically having the desire to go the more proven safe route would rather use the type I over the type II so i wanted to verify that it was just a cosmetic reason and not some odd off the wall chemical reason
