Default Tank Reseal ?

As some of you know I recently bought a 180g tank that passed the leak test for over a week.... before deciding to leak as we picked it up to finally bring it inside So obviously now I am going to reseal the entire tank. Any tips or advice would definitely be appreciated.

Now for the actual question.... Can I use this silicone to reseal the tank... http://www.lowes.com/pd_35166-72643-LW012X4_0_?productId=3078887&Ntt=silicone&Ntk=i_pr oducts&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?newSearch=true$Ntt=silicone$y=0$x=0 Seams it should be fine as it states it is 100% silicone but figured I would check here 1st! Thanks in advance guys

I think it should be OK since it states that it is not mildew resistant. However, I don't have any experience with it so hopefully someone who has will chime in.
