Just got a quote from coast to coast, close to 3K for a 70 cube star fire on 2 panels shipped to my door in Maine! Wow is that pricey!

$3k!? I got a 50g SCA cube with 4 starfire panels with a sump, stand and skimmer delivered for $700.

I know I may go wit the 80gal they have. How do you like the sca? Does it have 2 or 3 holes drilled? How thick is the glass and is it rimless?

 

[TheEngineer]

I like it a lot. The glass is 10mm and it is rimless. Mine has two holes but someone who just got one has three.

Are the holes metric also? I read a post where somebody commented that the bulk heads were junk. Thoughts?

The bulkheads were a weird size unfortunately. There are adapters you can buy though.
