No we did add the abalone shells, and I am glad we did. They really add a nice sparkle. At first i was hesitant to add anything, just wanted my white plaster pool replastered, but by the time we were signed we had decided on Tropics blue with abalone and we are really happy with color and sparkles. No glass beads were put in mix as I was told they have a tendancy to be problematic as they like to fall out. Maybe my pool guy was just saying that I don't know firsthand.
