    Silicone safety

    To add on - in case anybody comes looking for this sort of information later - any aquarium grade silicone should be safe once it is fully cured. Which can take up to two weeks with some caulking silicone, but depends on ambient temp and humidity. If the silicone is not fully cured, it may...
