you can use lots Maxine, I personally like to use aquamax mounted exterally without all of the caseing, then if there is a water issue they are safe and will not blow. They are also qutie energy efficient...which is nice!

Thanks Tomy, I am right in thinking that the pressure from the water will be able to assist in the fitting by using normal silicone sealant around the glass? I am thinking of putting lintel on the bootm then using 3"angle for the sides and top, glassing over then fitting?
