They were tha same values I used for rmf except the last one. That
I guessed. Problem is I don't understand what the parameters do. I've
read the mega helf several times, but it doesn't really help.

I'll try some other values when I get time. That pic took 4 and a half hours
(Over twice what RMF took)

Thanks, I'll give that a try. If I change the water material to a
solid pigment it might render fast enough for some experimentation.
