Scratches easier and I was actually surprised that the 19mm didn't really look all that green to me. In the end I always think...tank gets filled with water which certainly isn't 100% clear and then I turn on a small army of Radiums and the tank is quite blue. I'm going to spend my money elsewhere =)

Ok. I've been having the interanl debate over this for my next tank, which may be plywood with a glass front. Figured the cost of one pane wouldn't be too much more.

The cost for front and side in starphire as quoted by Concept Aquariums was very reasonable but I think I'm forever a regular glass guy. I got extremely tempted though. I want to have this tank done not obsess over too many fancy details so that I never have budget to run it. |

Here is where my journey begins. Actually...I've been down there cleaning a little already if you can believe that. I took out 14 bags full of recyclables! Pop cans are the wife's job lol.

This is going to be awesome! So happy to see you doing another big build...if it's anything like the last one we're all in for a good ride.
Have you thought about a DIY LED fixture for a tank that size? I am only doing a 290g but the savings of going LED just on bulbs, etc really made a lot of sense.

we are bring in a new glass from china, not sure what to call it but will name it "ever clear"for now, it's half the price of starsphire and i am told just as hard. Had a simple to see today and i like it is clearer than the starphire glass but here is two pic's for you to check out the new glass is on top and starphire is on the bottom again the same thing from the side If you like this idea there are only two problems, i know i just had to throw something else in there for you lol, 1) it looks thinner than the starphire 2) glass won't be here for another 2 to 3 months thanks Dave |

Dave come on you tease.
Ok how much thinner in mm? Any reason to worry about their claims considering it's unknown glass in a way? It sure looks clearer! We'll have to talk lol. |
