is there different types of silicones? will they all do the same job and how long does it take to dry? thanks for the help.

Yes, some commercial grade sealants have mold resistant additives that you dont want. I would only use aquarium specific silicone, although some people have used another product that I cant remember right now. Its usualy good to go after 24 hours.

Silicone I is good to use but needs 24 hrs cure time to be safe and delete the fumes. DO NOT USE SILICONE II, it has the mold resistance added.
