Chalking this up as a success. Headed to my mom's this weekend to set up her patio for the season. Was finally able to test this thing. Too bad the pool is in pieces so we don't get the whole experience.
We used tempered glass for fill, conveniently they are redoing the railings in her building so we just asked the workers for some casualties. We may go for a Carribean blue to match the blue pool in the r future. I'm quite happy with it though.
