I’ve never used silicone on a hydro system. I wouldn’t recommend it either. I would recommend using regular fittings. Available at any hydro store. Use regular barbed fittings. Use 3/4 drain tubing and 1/2 feed tubing. So you get the right size fittings. They are inexpensive and you won’t have any leaks.
