May I suggest the use of starphire glass? I wish all of mine were starphire but once you buy it, it's too late.
I plan on building my next tank out of starphire as it is not green at the ends and also makes for a better view. More initial cost but I would say its worth it. Just a thought

Sorry never heard of starphire glass.. ... where do you find it? lol. You know someone with it and it looks good?

It's a low iron glass and is noticeably less green. I got it for mine though of course would only be looking through one side at a time into the tank where it might not make that much difference, figure since it's also dividing the room and would be seeing through both panes...
