How long does it take to dry?

Depends how much water you use to mix with but I normally give it 24 hours to fully set

How big of a tank is this for?

This isn't a kit exactly based on tank. This kit is a starter kit for a small cavern. I'd say it can build a little bigger cave than two-thirds a normal sized blown up balloon (in the kit) which is about 1 inch thick with small ramps added. Naturally because you build the cave you may adjust to fit enclosure. This is great for small tanks BUT if you are interested in building bigger formations or cavern systems you will need to purchase more clay from the company.

How long does it take for the balloon to deflate? It has been a week.

Did you fill the balloon with hot water first?
