At room temp, usually 24 hours to cure with a recomendation of 48 hours before actually using the tank. I've used silicone in my basement with temps around 18C with no noticable difference, so I wouldn't expect 15 to be major problem, but you might want to give it an extra day to be sure.

So if it has been built 5 days ago I should be ok? It is a large (480g) tank... Triple base.

5 days sounds like plenty of time
