    Default Re: Concrete mix for water area for frogs

    Unfortunately, that would not work. The concrete needs to be cured 100% before any animals can go into enclosure. Especially any animal that would contact the water that also contacts the concrete.

    Concrete is made from mostly limestone. The limestone leeches out of the concrete until it cures, making the water extremely hard and alkaline. The curing process takes about 6 weeks, give or take with numerous flushes and water changes done to eliminate all foul materials before it becomes neutral.
