...and it's all your fault!

It's still very much a work in progress; I need to tweak the opacity of the glass and there's going to be more fish bowl-ish deco, and of course there's also going to be fishies - the inside of the bowl is mapped separately from the outside for just that purpose - but yeah. 'Tis a start.
The poly count is going to land somewhere around 3,600+ polys, but since that's almost 1,500 polys fewer than the sunken (basegame) hottub and less than half of the elevated one (and on six tiles, at that), I'm not even going to feel guilty about it.

Hee, thanks, everybody! Glad you like it, because I'm having lots of fun with it. 
@BoilingOil, LOL! Sorry to disappoint you, but you don't see much of it; the water churns and goes all white a la car windows (and the water mesh covers the entire inside of the bowl), so all you get is the occasional hand or foot emerging as usual.
@fanseelamb, be careful what you wish for...

BUMMER! But I guess that that was to be expected. EA would have made certain that their doodie-holes were covered
