hey Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's impossible not to scratch regular glass either. I speak from experience. meh, I think its all in where its sourced from and to what degree the factory works at to keep crap out of the glass. I have never had an issue with it but I don't doubt the possibility. Quote Link to comment
Veng Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeah it's like 5% increased visibility for like 300% the cost. To be fair, the tank is usually less than 10% of the total build cost after you factor in other equipment and stocking. And for large tanks it's not 300% cost Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 yeh that build was a cool one, very clean tank inside. I especially like that 50g upper tub its his mangrove tub, not sure if he implemented the mister system for keeping salt creep off their leaves or not though. My take on low iron glass is, it looks better with no water in it. Supposedly it is easier to scratch aswell as if there are impurities in the process to make it you can chip off micro burrs with a magfloat and end up with scratches without sand even in the tank... I think a Deepblue 80 build was what I was reading this happened to. found it: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2251777 oh wow, I didn't even know about that lol Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 So here I am at a bar in Chicago, catching up on emails and calls from the day when I hear that my pico won the title for most creative nano on R2R. Super excited about that. Then while I'm answering emails and posts and stuff a senior citizen buys me a drink for no reason and no conversation. I even checked I don't have any cleavage showing and I barely looked up from the iPad, strange town. 4 Quote Link to comment

If that's what happens to you in Chicago, you better be careful when you come back down to the south, we're liable to do a whole lot more for less out of "kindness" 2 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Dang I wolfed down some mighty spicy food and rushed to catch a 7:30 show of The Judge. Not sure if this is a cChicago thing but the seats are assigned. However these dang seats are recliners. I'm at a 45 degree angle watching the screen. #effinawesome On another note. Alabama CREAMED Texas A & M. Holy cow. 4 Quote Link to comment
