Is starfire worth it in 1/2"?

[untamed]

I suspect that the reason no one ever notices is that you only realize the visual difference when you are given a comparison. When I had the chance to examine a tank that was 1/2 starfire and 1/2 normal I thought the difference was substantial. (The glass on that tank was thicker than 1/2")

Another way to put it..... would be to say that it is like looking at the world through green sunglasses. When you first put them on, everything looks green....after a while, you don't notice anymore but the glasses are still filtering out non-green light. Your brain just tries to compensate.
