![]() I have a starphire peninsula tank and I have a couple of scratches that I put in it when I was placing the rocks in the beginning of the build. It was my own fault......none since. Love the clarity. I will always go with starphire......fronts at least.

![]() Research any topic and you will find the nay sayers and the yeah sayers. Nothings perfect and someone will always point that out.
The facts are, it's clearer, more expensive and scratches easier than regular plate glass. Most will say that it is still relatively scratch resistant, but that's somewhat subjective and harder to measure. My tank is starphire on three sides and I am very happy with my decision. - Brad |

![]() It's only slightly easier to scratch than standard glass, chances are if you scratched your starphire it would have scratched the standard as well in most cases. I've had a few starphire tanks and don't have any more issues with scratches than I did with standard. Worth the money IMO, especially anything thicker than 10mm. Some say they can't tell the difference but I think those people need glasses

![]() Our cube display is Starphire with the same light as you have and it looks amazing. We also just installed an 8ft 2 side starphire tank and without a doubt the only way to go!! They look fabulous! Very clear glass. Makes the tank look as though it is in HD!!
