There's a lot of info that's left out Don:

- Did you make it and "Cure" it (After casting, did you leave it in a warm and humid place for a while?) outside the tank and left it in the tank with water afterwards?

- Are you using saltwater in your tank with this diy rockwall?

- I am not so sure if anything cast out during the Kure will do anything but give off a high pH, but even still.. why kure it in a tank? My worry would be the prolonged chemistry with the silicone... though I honestly don't know what, if any, problems it would cause just to the tank.

Thanks for the help. The wall is made using some dry rock. But the aragocrete is there to hold it together. I cast the backgrounds 4 weeks ago. And the overflow cover piece 2 weeks ago. But my problem now is a container large enough to complete the last step. So im wondering about just using the aquarium this will be going into.
I currently has not anything in it. And It has been serving as a moisture controled enviorment. [still is]
