Most vendors call it Low Iron glass. PPG makes starfire. I don't know of any other companies by name.

There's also diamante glass, which is completely void of iron. Needless to say, it's very expensive, but is also brittle. IIRC, 1/2" thickness (maybe even 3/4") is the minimum recommended for aquarium use.

All 'clear' glass is a kind of low-iron glass. Different brands may have slightly different properties. Brands of low-iron glass that I have heard of are starphire, diamante, and opti-white.
