Thank you Rich and I hope I can come to you if needed later on. Let me give you a little more input to my situation. I am still currently employed. (not yet retired). I work as an Engineer on River Tow Boats. My work schedule keeps me away from home for a month or more at a time. I am trying to get my project set up and running before I retire a year from now. As Rich has stated the concrete cure goes on forever deminishing over time on a logrithmic curve. But initialy without a sealant most likely there will be issues that will need to be tested and corrected to maintain balance. I might not be home to do the monitoring and feel comfortible about putting fish in until I am confident of the stability. I believe a bareier of some sort will provide me a shortcut to achieving this stability. I hearby volinteer to be the official forum guinypig for RaydonSeal.

RadonSeal® Penetrating Concrete Sealer is deep-penetrating reactive concrete sealer that penetrates deep into concrete (up to 4"), reacts with lime and alkalis, forcefully expands inside capillaries, and hardens as an insoluble silicate mineral. (Silicates are the "binders" in concrete.)
The many benefits of sealing your concrete with RadonSeal® Penetrating Concrete Sealer:
Seals concrete against water seepage, water vapor.
Reduces indoor humidity preventing the growth of molds and mildew, alleviates basement odors.
Helps prevent the growth of molds, mildew, and musty odors.
Strengthens concrete reducing concrete dusting, spalling, and cracking.
Seals against efflorescence.
Neutralizes alkalis, protects paint, thinset, epoxy coatings, etc. Acts as a concrete primer.
Safe, Spray or Roll-On Application – Apply RadonSeal to your basement concrete using an airless sprayer, hand-pump "garden" sprayer, roller, or brush. RadonSeal is a waterborne concrete sealer – ZERO VOCs, no noxious fumes, non-toxic, nonflammable, and non-hazardous. The sealer absorbs inside the concrete leaving the surface slip resistant and paintable (does not change the appearance or profile of the concrete).
