acrylic vs starphire

I am thinking of doing a no holds barred mini reef tank around 20-30 gallons,because i can't afford a no holds barred big tank lol. i want your opinion on what type of tank to get, an acrylic one or one with starphire glass.i know acrylics is 40% more clear then regular glass, does anybody know how much clearer it is then starphire? does anybody have any action pics of a tank with starphire glass?

 

I dont know where you got that fact, that acrylic is clearer than glass? I would have to disagree. As for starphire(sp), thats the clear-ist view that I have ever seen and VERY expensive. The money that you will spend on a small Starphire tank, you could get a larger one out of glass. Luna

 

starphire is like dream from what I know its top of the pile (cash pile that is)

if you can afford it do it I have only seen it in pictures

 

i thought starphire was glass lol

 

It is. ??? Luna

 

you said this^

 

B/c the Starphire(SP) is super expensive. You could buy a 30g tank made out of SP and for the same amount of money, could get a 100-150g tank out of reg. glass. That was my point.;D Luna

 

oh i thought you meant to say acrylic originally. but yes starphire is low iron glass.

 

Dont they call acrylic plexy glass

 

yep but i think its really more of a plastic
