My understanding is that "mildew resistant" silicones contain
mildewcides that would be toxic to fish.

I suggest you buy silicone that is rated for aquarium use or is "food
grade."  You may also want to consider using acrylic cement to join the
acrylic pieces.  For some reason  I've never seen acrylic in aquariums
and wet drys joined with silicone, it's always with acrylic cement.
Maybe someone else can comment on this.
