Thats what he told me also but I have the scratches. IF, it was one of us cleaning the tank, then whatever scratched it, did not scratch the other three sides. My builder said it does scratch easier, something I wish I had know sooner. Me stupid for not researching better but I have read hundreds of starfire threads and never once noticed it. Now that I have starfire, it "oh yea", you never knew that and the threads on scratches and/or the light blue tint in the edge are everywhere.

Seems to be a divide on if it should be clear white looking edge down or have the ligh blue/green tint like mine.

I have some pics of mine but

Doug, my heart just sank looking at those pics. Don't know what to say. That truly sucks, I hope there will be a way to patch it up a bit.

The sad thing is the scratches are the main topic in all the threads on my new tank, on various boards, instead of the beauty and wonder of the tanks nice design, its set up and its inhabitants.

As I mentioned elsewhere, not really sure what I will do, short of taking it down.
