The only bad thing about your planned 30 inch width is if your going with starphire glass you have to get 2 - 1/2" panes laminated together which almost triples the price of your tank.

My tank is a standard 230 with 3 starphire sides. I wanted a 30 or 36" wide tank but instead of costing me the $950 that it did it would have been about triple that.

All this comes from the fact that starphire only comes in 1/2" as the fattest thickness.

I don't get that Jon? Ours is 30" wide starphire four sides. Tank was roughly $1000.
