Largest Standard Tank?

cobysreef · 07/06/2006, 02:16 PM

Hello All,
Im new to this board but not new to the hobby.
Im building a new home and incorporating a new reef/fish tank in my den.
I will have many questions as I go along but will ask them step by step. My first question is,
1 What is the largest standard glass tank with a minimal 20 year warranty? please include the manufacturers

2 Is starphire glass worth the extra $$$ and is there a big difference, also what are the differences?

All standard tank sizes can be found at the manufacturers web sites. Google the name of the company your interested in. Most common is perfecto, all glass, and oceanic.

Starphire is great stuff. You only need it for the viewing panes, sometimes that is only the front. Whether its worth it is like asking if HDTV is worth it. Once you've seen it you'll say yes. But if you never see it, you'll be satisfied with regular. It subjective in other words.

Thanks Mike,
seems like 265 is the max size from what I gathered.
