Anyone have an aquarium made with this type of glass, or have seen one? I'm just wondering how they compare to the normal aquarium with its slightly green tint (if you look at the corners where the panes of glass meet, you'll see what I mean).

I have seen many tanks made of "Starphire Glass" which I believe is low-iron. It is extremely clear, not quite as clear as acrylic but much better than regular glass. Only problem is that this kind of glass is somewhat difficult to come across and its expensive.

One place that makes aquariums with this glass is InterAmerican in Canada. I believe the owners' name is Mitch. I've heard this place is quite a crap shoot though with many promised delivery dates not realized.

Twin Oaks/Glasscages is offering low iron glass on their "larger" tanks, they ask you to inquire as to the prices. They are on the dendroboard links page
