Starfire vs. Regular Glass

[fencingag]

Looking for advice. Within the next month or two, I am looking at ordering my new tank (240 gallon tall, 72x24x31 or so) and would like some input as to whether I should go with starfire glass or regular glass.
I have never seen the starfire, that I am aware of, and am wondering if it is worth the extra $$.
The tank itself will be a reef tank, and I am really looking forward to being able to showcase corals, etc,
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Depending on the thickness of the glass it can make quite a difference, but I've never invested in it.
If you are having the tank custom built, you may consider just doing the front panel of the tank. This is usually a pretty cost effective option.

I have starphire glass and love it. It is an investment, so it might depend on whether this is the tank you plan on keeping for awhile. I have seen both and there is a difference. Do a search on the internet and you will find some example comparisons. I know it's looking at the computer screen, but some of those sites have very realistic comparisons.

if i had the money i would have bought a starfire glass tank but college students don't really have much money so i did the best i could and bought a regular glass 125 gallon tank for $343 including tax.
