Bluetangs 360 gallon upgrade

Same never had a problem with that. I have a call in to my glass suplier to find out if it is softer or not. I don't see how it could be.

I think reef keepers generally fall into 2 categories when it comes to scratches in their tank, those who scratch their glass, and those who do not.

For example, I helped move a brand new tank for a fellow reefer, a brand new starphire tank (replacing an older non-starphire tank). Tank was perfect when we moved it. 4 months later I go over to check it out, more scratches on the 4 month old tank than I have put on tanks in the my entire life!!! (including 4 starphire tanks). His old tank was quite scratched up also.

I am not suggesting starphire does not scratch more easily based on the properties of the glass. That being said I have exclusively purchased starphire tanks since 2003 and have never found it to be a problem, and have never put a scratch of significance on any other them.

Just me, perhaps I am just a little weird about how I maintain the glass. I did not notice any problems moving from regular float glass to low iron. cheers.

Nope, but I have family that does. I work as a field mechanic for finning in the compact general construction line. I spend most of my time in the shop tho, and it's good there is basically only two of us in the city that work on the product line everyone else hates skidsteers mini loaders and mini excavators.
