Starfire Glass

[clowninround]

My husband brought up starfire glass to me again and so I need to ask as I think he really wants me to go with something new this time...how durable is starfire glass? I know it is less durable than regular glass but at what thickness would it need to be for a 180g tank for just the front and the back of the tank to be safe? Does it scratch more than regular glass? I don't want to get it if I will have potential problems on my hands. Not that I wouldn't like clear glass, but not if the costs outway the benefits.

browse through the site linked and you will find the area for purchasing tanks, for each size, if you click to go to the purchase area there is a little interactive worksheet that gives the cost for each size tank to add starfire glass to front or front and ends.
