Havent had any issues at all. The drylock paint is a waterproofer and it seals in everything from the quikrete dye and tye styrofoam. It is non toxic and does not leak anything into the water.

Well, the one I made with quicrete concrete seems to make the water dirty.. I've had it in the tank filing and emptying the water for about 2 weeks.. finally put two little guppies in there and they died.. I noticed the water was still a little dirty.. How did you do it with your background?

Nighthawk, you're supposed to let it dry first

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I didnt use quikrete concrete i used drylok paint. I just used quikrete dye to add some color to the drylock paint since it is a boring white haha
