Brett just to add a little more stress to your build for you lol

we are bring in a new glass from china, not sure what to call it but will name it "ever clear"for now, it's half the price of starsphire and i am told just as hard. Had a simple to see today and i like it is clearer than the starphire glass but here is two pic's for you to check out

the new glass is on top and starphire is on the bottom

again the same thing from the side
If you like this idea there are only two problems, i know i just had to throw something else in there for you lol,
1) it looks thinner than the starphire
2) glass won't be here for another 2 to 3 months

thanks Dave

Dave come on you tease.

Ok how much thinner in mm? Any reason to worry about their claims considering it's unknown glass in a way? It sure looks clearer!

We'll have to talk lol.

If you look at the first pic I posted it shows the difference between the two types of glass, it is very slight! We are using their float glass now and I would have to say it is harder than the glass we were getting from ppg, you can ask Michika about that lol it took us over 8 hours to buff out some flaws we missed when we dropped it off.

So I guess expect to see a tank in roughly 2-3 months as I am going to give this new low iron glass a shot. Looks very promising from what I do know about it so I guess we'll see!

That does leave room for another upgrade I suppose. Wait...how long has the 97 been going lol?

Waiting is going to be rough but it's not like any waiting I've done previously. I have a tank so I'm still totally happy! Speaking of which...water change time!
