Starphire

[Nostrathomas]

I was just curious if this glass upgrade is worth the extra money you spend for it?

That's an impossible question to answer. It depends on what money is worth to you. Starphire is very very clear. That's it...

If I was severly wealthy I wouldn't use anything else. I'm not so I remain happy with my green tinted glass. No big deal

It would be a tougher question if there was a Starphire bowfront.... Hmmmmmm

Toured a house w/ dual 440g bowfronts made from Starphire while at MACNA last year. Very nice, very clear, and very expensive. I understand that Starphire tends to scratch easier.

IMO there it is really not worth the $ untill you get into 3/4" glass and over. If you are building a 3/4" tank you may want to think about using it for the front.

Thanks for the replies.I'll probably just go with the standard glass!Unless I hit the lotto!
