I wait until the silocone is hard when touched. Hehe, that's usually more than 24 hours.

it can take upto a week to cure completely, but such a thin coat may only take a couple of days you don't want uncured silicone in or touching tank water even near the water as it can leach some very bad cemicals and nuke the tank. go slow be safe.
