    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.
