In previous experience, concrete has been covered, once cured, with a glaze or epoxy coating to keep some of the components of the concrete (such as lime) from leeching into the pool or tank. What are you doing to your rocks? Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--
