Did you have the fiberglass pool submerged in the ground?

Or just sitting above ground?




>>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.
