Does the package say anything about mold resistant or additives? If it does then it would not be safe for a tank.

Yeah, read the label word for word. You'll find that most silicone sealants will actually say "not for use in aquariums". I would look for one that says it is. I've used the AGA clear before, it was great. I think it was from DFS.
