Before I had my 60 cube with 3 panels of starphire glass, I read that too. However, I can say that I didn't scratch my tank at all and I cleaned it with a metal scraper blade, I'm sure I hit it with rocks, normal tank wear and tear. I didn't experience easy scratchingThe low iron glass does scratch much easier.
My 220g tank did not have low iron glass. I can't tell you how many people commented that they loved how clear my Starfire tank was. Many of those people had Starfire tanks themselves. Do you think I told them it wasn't? Nope. I feel if the glass is 5/8" or over you should definitely consider Starfire but if 1/2" you can get away with it if you use black silicone in the seams.
Keep in mind that if the livestock in the tank is captivating, no one ever notices the glass, powerheads, cords or any other imperfections going on outside that glass box. And that's a FACT!

What does the black silicone have to do with it? Do you feel that it's because people can't see the green in the cut ends of the glass? I'm interested in this only because I'm going to do an upgrade to a 120 gal in the near future.My 220g tank did not have low iron glass.
