![]() I dunno. Why not right?
![]() I met with Dave at Concept Aquariums and they should be starting the build on-site sometime in February. I was talked out of starphire once again and feel really good about that choice (again). Dave let me handle a glass sample while we talked...yeah it was hot. Here are the rough details: 96L x 36W x 27H 19mm External overflow on end Viewable 2 sides Quote:

![]() Here is v1 in sketchup. I am leaning towards using one of Paul's new Ocean Motion devices but I need his (and anyone else's) input to plan where I need holes. I would like to have current flow one direction for maybe 60 seconds, then reverse and flow the other way. I'm interested in reversing the intakes as well like I think Paul has demonstrated. I'm still confused so hopefully he can chime in here.

![]() 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. |

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. |
