    Alright so i was at my lfs and saw a tank there for sale its a 100 gal. 60x21x20 so actually around 108 gal. polished glass, its drilled through the bottom for the overflow and comes with a really nice black stand with a custom glass sump thats around 50-60 gal. all for 850 price was dropped since theyve had the tank there for so long. my question is would it be better to get that or a starphire glass tank and build my own sump and stand. whats the difference between the polished glass and starphire glass? and does the starphire glass really make that big a difference? what does everyone think would be better let me know.. i tried adding pics of the tank and all but there not uploading right now so upload as soon as it lets me.

    I ahve starfire on 3 sides of my tank. from what I read, it really only makes a difference on the thicker glass. I didnt have it on my last tank with thinner glass and I don think I could tell.
