Hello all!
Every few months the QT debate comes up so I figured I can resurrect this debate to see fresh ideas!
I am in the process of planning aquarium. I’m looking at between 300-400 gallons fish only from custom aquariums in Neenah wi. I got a 4x3 150 from them last year and it is amazing and I’m local so sticking with them.
My question is ultra clear glass (low iron). There is conflicting information everywhere on the internet from all of the 2000s.
It’s weaker, it’s stronger, low iron is not noticeable, extremely noticeable, would never do tank without , would never use again, scratches easier….. ad infinitum
From my reading, it must depend on glass thickness. 1/4 is not gonna matter but 1” glass you could very easily tell.
So my question, I am really looking at a 30” tall tank, but that would require 5/8”. Is 5/8” in the realm of needing low iron? Otherwise I am going with 24” tall and regular 1/2”.
No acrylic discussion, not an option thanks!
