How long does the clay take to dry?

For big projects, such as those that take a kilo or more of clay, it will take up to a week to dry completely, make sure you leave lots of time for projects...

does it dry lighter in weight than when you work it? And is it waterproof when dry?

It isn't waterproof and, in fact, will soften if left in water. This can be a good thing if you have clay that's dried out before you've used it as you can leave it in a container of water (overnight) and it will become workable again. Also, you can mix some clay with water until creamy to give you 'slip' which is a kind of glue for joining two pieces of clay together (but not dried clay pieces, I imagine). Finished sculptures can be waterproofed to some degree with varnishes - I'm not an expert on these. In addition to this, I've heard that you can apply a mix of PVA glue and water to a finished sculpture as this strengthens the clay and makes it more resistant to knocks. Dried clay can be quite fragile.

was wondering can this be used once dry in an aquarium?

No definately not.....when it absorbs water it becomes unstable and releases toxins into the water...
