You're not done yet? Lol looks great so far believe it or not, i did all my carving with a steak knife, exacto and a scalpel. Oh, and you can always silicone/ cocofiber that bare spot directly onto the glass.

Whatcha plannin on covering the waterfall in?

I was thinking about painting it with gray acrylic paint like the rock walls and sealing it with silicone. Do you think that will be ok?

Silicone will work just fine. It will dry hazy though. Get thee to the home depot paint section and get either some marine epoxy or 2 part epoxy. It will dry clear and rock hard. Just mix it up and paint it on.

Would that titebond3 stuff be good to use? Or would it dry hazy too?

I know, it's taking forever. I am hoping to try out the waterfall tomorrow to see how the water will flow. And all the bare spots will be covered with silicone and coco fiber
