I've placed an order for a new tank which measures 78"X24"X30", and they want to know what thickness glass i want. I know that the base wants to be thicker, so i'm thinking 20mm for that, but i don't know whether to use 10mm or 12mm for the rest.
Another thing i'm looking for opinions on is starfire/low iron glass, i asked for the front panel to be made out of this stuff and boy is it expensive. For the front panel it would be another £247/$377 when a standard tank would cost £486/$743. Also i've read that it scratches easily a bit like acrylic. So what im asking is, is it really worth the extra money.
