You seem to underestimate us Daystar. When you make the glass of your greenhouse so thick, as you are suggesting the dimming effect would be too great to create the effect you speak of.
Water is a substance which is 800 times denser than air. As soon as light enters the water, it interacts with the water molecules and suspended particles to cause loss of light, colour changes, diffusion, loss of contrast and other effects. The canopy would just dissipate too much of the heat for a normal climate to sustain.
In clear water, the attenuation is about 3.5% of the photons per meter. This means of every 1000 photons you will lose about 35 of them every meter.
