Does it say anywhere in the wording, maybe in the fine print, that the cured sealant is mildew resistant? If so, that is the last thing we want in our tanks, because it will stop all kinds of necessary growth. I always use the clear DAP sealant that actually says on the tube that it's aquarium safe. Here is a pic:
