Silicone I is usually safe. Be sure to check the label. Silicone II on the other hand is NEVER safe

well i went to our local RONA store here in canada,
and i got some silicone for like 4 bucks it's the a huge tube of it,
aquariam friendly and i'm building the formation now, going to take a couple days cause it's gotta cure then add more then cure then add more, but when i'm done i'll be sure to show you guys, wont be spectacular but cool

Silicone that is labeled as 'food safe' will also be aquarium safe.

I personally don't like the idea of siliconing rocks together, it makes them hard to remove for cleaning or re-arrange. I've never had a problem just stacking rocks up in a stable formation...
