I believe curing silicone evaporates copius amounts of a type of acid, thereby the burning of the nostrils when you smell it... airborne I would suspect this would disperse easily as a gas... and probably not even be able to accumulate to toxic levels via surface gas exchange, but waterborne an acid like that I imagine would create some quite powerful chemical reactions to an already precarious ionic balance... some species reactions would be stronger than others... but yeah.... things can go pretty screwy pretty quickly when the wrong things are introduced to your tank...
