Starphire glass tanks

I would go for the bigger tank size. Always the bigger tank size.

 

I agree with fence....... Bigger is better and more fun...... There is so many fish I can't have but want because I got a 75 gal

 

Starphire is a great view, it does make a difference. I have always been against bigger is better.

The perfect setup for you is better. Dimensions, Space you have, Can you reach to the bottom, Where do you see your tank from, What animals are you putting in there.

I would rather have a smaller tank where my budget can support it, then a large tank and my budget can not support it.

 

I agree with Chris. All depends on what type and size of animals you want to keep. And it costs a hell of alot more to light a 6 foot tank than a 4 foot. If your not gonna keep large fish like tangs and such that 75 starfire would be an excellent pick. I am gonna get a startfire tank when I upgrade to a larger tank. I think they look alot better.

 

You can see what a center brace looks like when you stop out tonight as our 210 has 2 of them....

 

Thicker the glass the more difference starfire makes. 1/2" is min I would think about paying a premium for, but with 3/4" the difference is huge. Pick whatever size you like. I am of the rare crowd that doesn't think bigger is better. It's like 2000 with suv size wars! Lol. I like to see people's reaction when I say it would be fun to have a larger tank for huge fish, but I don't want to downgrade!!

 

Hmm....I'll have to test the difference of starfire glass in picture quality. Really tempting to see what kind of difference it can make /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

 

I forgot to add, according to ppg starfire is very similar in hardness to their regular float glass. So it doesn't scratch easier, but since it's so clear scratches that happen are more noticeable when it gets dirty. Sand is the biggest worry with getting it under a glass cleaner. I run BB and scratch free so far using the big flipper (for 3/4")with the metal blade.

 

Nice! I am sure you will love the 75. I got my 1st rimless few months ago and am really enjoying it. You should make a build thread, either here or reef 2 reef, I like that place too.

 

Well anyone with a starfire tank with thicker (1/2" to 3/4") glass want to volunteer their tank? /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif

Anyone with a regular tank can volunteer too for base shots in comparison but if needed we have photos of regular glass tank shots we can use.

You should also do your build thread here because you like us here. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
