Default My IA Starphire 180 tank

Well my tank arrived 2 months and three weeks after I was billed for it (2 months after the "promised" delivery date) but it came exactly to what I had asked for. The crate it came in was solidly built and the tank was sitting on a long pallet with very strong corrugrated cardboard between. The sides also had the cardboard and it was all boarded up solid. The crate and tank weighed 525 lbs and I'm so happy that its finally here!!!!


I became worried reading this tread about the starphire glass thing so I went out to my garage to take a look. With my eyes, there doesn't seem to be any blue tint and comparing it to the normal glass eurobrace, there is definitely a difference. Even if that is not the "real" Starphire glass, I don't think I am going to be too concerned. Take a look at it and see for yourself. I placed a white cabinet door behind the tank. The bottom is through the "starphire" glass, the eurobrace in between and the top is no glass at all.



So will I be upset if it is not REALLY the true "Starphire" brand of glass? I probably will not. If this thing starts leaking on me, then I probably will. [img][/img][img][/img]
