I started my reefing journey a year back. Its a great journey together with all you people here. I learned a lot over this one year. My reef will complete its anniversary this coming August and what can be a best anniversary gift? As a reefer we are never satisfied and always ask more (it may be corals or lighting or control). So, I decided to gift myself a bigger tank.....
While I was searching for tank dimensions and custom orders it was becoming more obvious to me that my custom size (30x24x16) with three side starphire glass will cost me a fortune. After a lot of research I decided I will build my own tank. I believed that from this forum I learned enough to build a tank for myself. So, last week I put my courage together and order the glasses from Glasscage and these are 3/8" thick. Today, I received my glasses and wow the difference between normal and starphire was enormous. Also these glasses are quite heavy due to their thickness. I think this will be fun to do and also it will be a good learning experience for me.
