This information was very timely. The idea of first making a template will likely save us time and frustration. Thanks, Tom B.

In the winter we heat the water to 80° with aquarium heaters and it keeps the ambient temp up. In the summer we remove the heaters and the water stays cool, keeping the ambient temp cooler. I need to do some comparative studies of the temp inside the GH with water mass and 1 with no water mass. We have had no problems with the greenhouse overheating so far and with no shade cloth! It is true about the tops popping off, though. It is important to reduce the water level enough to keep the lids on. The open water not only is a breeding ground for insects, but also encourages algae and mildew to form. The cool thing about using water mass is that it both heats and cools.
