    Any silicone that reads 100% silicone with no extra additives is safe. Just make sure you let it dry for at least 24 hours.

    Aquarium grade is another way to say 100% pure silicone. So long as it's clear, has no added chemicals you'll be fine. Let it sit for at least 24 hours to be sure it's fully dry and your good.
