How can prevent water leak on a concrete roof?

You have a major problem. concrete is not water proof (liquid or vapor)or really even water resistent. If you look at a concrete pool or tank, a thin plaster coating provides the water proof layer - not the concrete. Your best bet is to remove the concrete, lay down a real water proof layer and reinstall the concrete. You can put so called water proof paints/materials on the cement, but they will only last a few years. In the mean time, you will have completely rotted the wood framing that supports the concrete slab.

What is the best type of septic tank -concrete or fiberglass and what are the pros and cons of each type.?

Fiberglass tanks are a later development to the traditional concrete tanks, and many people now see them as a superior product. They are much lighter so transporting them to your location is simpler and being lighter weight means it will take less effort to install. Despite being lighter, fiber glass is actually stronger than concrete and because there are no pores in fiberglass it means that they are not prone to attack by sewer gases that can cause the concrete tanks to deteriorate. This means a fiberglass tank should last longer than a concrete tank.
