Acrylic vs Glass for photography
Hello all. I am planning to do an upgrade in about a year or so. Do to finances I will have to buy a piece at a time until I have them all.
My first concern is a tank. I would like a glass tank (for maintenance reasons) but I love the photography side of the hobby and am wondering how dramatic the difference between glass vs acrylic vs starfire is when shooting with a good camera? Does anybody have experience with this? Possibly with examples. Thanks |

I hated my acrylic tank. It made ALL of my photos fuzzy. Now having the starfire, I like it so much better.

I have been thinking about starfire the most. Is it hard to get custom sized tanks in starfire?

Thanks for the heads up oct2274. I think I may still go with them but I will need some assurance from them that if the tank comes in cracked they will replace it for free or I wont order from them..

Oceanic makes most standard sizes in starphire, I just got a 215 Starphire, nice thing is it comes with a 5year warranty... Oceanic tanks now come with a non-tempered bottom so that they can be drilled for CL systems
