WENT WITH PORCELAIN TILE IN 210 12" x 24"

[keepinfish]

You saw pics of my absolute black granite. It actually looks like a dark gray when in the water.

really i did not think that was black.. Interesting.. I could have sworn mine were black too...lol

I too love that tig!

The tiles look neat and if I do not get in with the sand then I will go down this route.

I assume the back part of the tile "the biscuit" that adhesive goes on to is inert and does not harden the water?

The reason I ask is that my pool man said that if you tile a pool then the PH stays high and the water hardens - any comments?

Not sure, i was wondering the same thing.

I think we need you to keep up some long term tests of PH and Hardness, I expect it will be fine and large water changes will dilute any changes anyway.

I can see that water could trap under the plates but surely if it gets under it will flow slowly out? or create an anaerobic environment????

actually they fit pretty tight together. IMO no more will be under the tiles than gets in the sump anyway if anything gets under there. It is not big enough gaps for food to get under them

Gotcha, thanks.
