Cement can be bought at some hardware shop. My father bought for me from defu lane. I think there are quite a few shops there that sell contractor stuff.

For my tangans which required alkaline water conditions, I soaked the background for around 24hours. After which, I totally drained out all the water. Although it would have been more appropriate to soak it maybe once or twice more, I was quite impatient then and after the first soaking, I already released some feeder fishes to do the testing. The feeder fishes were all healthy and swimming for 2 days before I decided to remove the feeder fishes and put in my tangans.
For fishes that are not suited to alkaline water, I will suggest using a pH test kit after each soak to test for the water pH. Also, I will suggest that each soaking time be increased to maybe around 48hrs. As I have read about this online before, I am quite sure that the pH will come down sooner or later. Hope this info helps.
