Looks like we are going to be going with Prism blue! I never thought I would be putting so much research into a color! Thanks a lot to Spang for his pictures and insight! We are using an installer out of PA that is highly recommended. Any thoughts as to what I should be looking for as to make sure everything is done right? Also can someone advise the process so that we can have a realistic swim time frame to go with. I am not really sure about acid wash process and what I need to do after install. Thanks all in advance for replies!

For an acid startup it is important that the PH be maintained below 8.0, which often requires daily acid additions. For a bicarbonate startup it is important to leave the PH alone for a while to let the plaster cure undisturbed.
