As long as it is 100% silicone it is OK just make sure there are no additives

If you have a Rona there they carry aquarium safe silicone.

GE door and window #1 is 100% silicone and aquarium safe. Available pretty much anywhere and runs for about $4 per tube.

Are you just redoing the large seams or the structural inner seams?

If it's all the seams, I'd use a stronger product - GE RTV108 is what was recommended to me. You probably won't find it at HD or a local hardware store, but Acklands-Grainger should have it (there are 5 locations in Calgary).
