So, I've been considering Starphire glass for a new tank and have read and seen the pictures all over the internet (including Nicklfire's thread). I went to KE yesterday and saw the Oceanic RR tanks with Starphire front glass. I walked to the different tanks and did a direct comparison and when directly in front, I couldn't even tell that they had starphire glass because the backs of the tanks were black. It seems to me that Starphire would only make sense if the tank were see-through (ie, viewable front to back). So I thought I would throw this out there and see what the opinions were.
I've pretty much made up my mind not to get starphire. I think if I could (I can't because of the plecos), I'd rather spend on money on an acrylic tank, if I could live with the scratches.
