Starphire vrs good old glass
Hey guys I am in the market for a new tank . What are your thoughts on starphier vrs regular glass. Pros and cons and can you see a big difference ?
|
The Clarity is there for Starphire, but it does scratch easier. I'd say its a 50/50 split. I have had both and like either tank. Best is to see a starphire tank up close and see what you prefer.
I would not have a starphire tank built for me again, but I would purchase one used if it was scratch free. The cost for me does not translate into good tank mojo after the fact. |
I don't really think it scratches much easier, the truth is if you can scratched a starphire tank it's more than likely you would have scratched the regular glass as well. I think it's a blame game people play when they've been careless.

I agree with Sphelps. People with scratched up staphire tanks would probably have a scratched up regular tanks.

if you scratch starphire you probably would have scratched float glass as well. starphire for us is easier to cut thats where we notice the difference , other than that theres no diff, besides clarity and price:mrgreen: cheers denny concept aquatics |

clarity depends on glass thickness of course. having owned a 19mm glass tank i can tell you it was really green. starphire would have been nice. with my current nano i doubt i'd notice much of a difference as the glass is very thin.
