Depending on the silicone used and its chemistry, it could actually be producing ammonia as it is curing. That and GE silicones contain petroleum distillates for mildew resistance (though many of their products don't advertise this). If you're not already running a skimmer, do so as aeration is the only way to remove distillates if there are some.

+1000 on bacteria stability. MB7 is great to get the bacteria going again. Take it slow though.

side note, I would try to remove all the fish from the tank and then turn ur heat up to speed up the ick life cycle. If you turn heat up but still have fish in it, it just basicly increase the amount of ick inside the tank as long as there is still available host.
