Something else I don't like about fiberglass(besides the price)if you are using them outdoors they don't retain the heat at all.
Concrete or earth ponds retain the heat MUCH better.
Of course if they are indoors it doesn't matter. They are light and very easy to clean. One of my favorite enclosures is a 6X4 foot fibergass cage. I call it the grow cage. Every croc I've ever housed in there has exploded.
I had a large fiberglass pool outside and the best thing I could say about it, as poorly as it retained heat, it was excellent in the transferance of sound. I had an adult male caiman (5.5 feet)
and he would bellow and make the most amazing sounds. The vibrating fiberglass intensified the sound where as my concrete pools absorb the sound. D.C.
