I have washed background many times. At present cement is not leaching. Don't considering pH too much because livestock will be atleast after 15-20 days.

Well, what i have read over the period about it. You have to keep an eye on ph spikes and should run a filter to keep the water moving. And changing it often. Some people witnessed leaching for months after setting up the tank. Waiting for it to come up in all it's glory. :)

I will around 50% water in alternate days. There will be a pump for spray bar with capacity 1500 liter/hour and a filter. I will introduce any animal after stable water parameters.

Rajivji if you remember my diy cement rocks have leached around 3 months with every alternate day water change.... Soo i would suggest not to add plants (if plants are not in hands) wait do some major waterchange and then go ahead..... Better late than spoiling something :)
Finally i am Broke but Happy :D
