If you are still concerned have a fresh batch of salt mix ready to go and in 12 hours do a waterchange to refresh the water and by then even at 12 hours the silicone should be fine it's not like you are re sealing the whole tank and have massive amounts of silicone all your using is a small dab to hold a hook.that little amount shouldn't bother anything even after 3 hours no more than using two part epoxy and crazy glue to glue frags
