The problem is that the pool of water is not evenly shaped, and needs to
refract light properly. It is a set of loop-stacked cylinders inside a
slightly larger vessel of the same shape. It is currently solid with a media
interior.

Would zeroing the effect of the current media container object in regards to
reflection and refraction, then placing said plane in the proper position
produce the described effect?

I do not see that happening as easily as a CSG from my current
configuration, but I am known for missing blatantly obvious things from time
to time..

thanks,
