I tried real water years ago. You fellows are correct, the mechanical problems can all be worked out. There are, perhaps have always been, chemicals to treat water to control algae and bacteria. The thing you will never control completely is the humidity. And a long-terrm humidity problem will give you growths of strange stuff all over your layout. If you use plaster, yes, even hydrocal, it will begin to hydrate given enough time. You want to try it, I say go for it. I was discouraged by all the side problems. <br /> <br />Tom
