Silicone cure time?

[Karackle]

So I have what is hopefully a quick question.

I'm wondering how long I should wait for the silicone securing the wall in place to dry before I test for water tightness? The container says full cure in 24 hours, but that seems kind of quick and the tank deifnitely still has an ammonia smell even though it's been a few days. Do I just wait until a day or two after the ammonia smell goes away? should 3-4 days be enough time? The geck won't go in for another few days/a week after i'm sure everything is water tight because I want to let the water circulate for a few days and looks for problem areas before I put him in, and then I need to layer the substrate and get some plants etc.

But how long until I can/should check for water tightness? It's GE Silicone II i believe.

thanks!
