The AGA is pure silicon sealant, which is all GE I is.
GE only puts the line about not using it on aquariums because they do not want to be liable for any problems that arise.
IMO when you buy the AGA sealant, you are spending the money on the manufacturer saying you can use it for aquariums, not the actual stuff in the tube.

Hmmm now that I think about it, you're right, it does.
Well if both say "100%" silicon, then how can they be different products at all?
Can't say as that I know what to tell you, other than that I've used I before with no problems... but I guess that's not saying much.
