It looks even better when you use a better camera!

I'll say!!!! Because in the first shot it just looks like a flat piece of glass and then with the better camera it actually looks like an actual tank! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk me so funny. Sorry I'll shut up now.

Tank looks good.

Thanks!

Now that its up its so much easier to visualize the end product. I'm on the fence if I'm going to start with the plumbing, or the lighting next. My credit card is cowering at the thought of purchasing plumbing right now.

That looks awesome! Is any of that starfire? It doesn't look that green in the shots and it's 3/4"...

Actual no, none of it. We ended up going with regular plain old glass. We debated, then it came down to a rugged competition of paper, rock, sissors (lizard, Spock). We chose plain old regular glass for its durability, and so far I've been quite happy with all of our regular glass tanks, and didn't really see the need to go to low-iron like we originally planned for.
