Longest Length (back panel) 82”
Width 47.5”

Custom adjustable water level overflow box
3/4"Starphire P.P.G. panels

Can you guess which one is Starfire???

Wow, what a tank. Its amazing how you forget why you wanted starfire until I look at the difference between starfire and standard glass right next to eat other, and its just amazing how much of a difference there is. Its easy to take starfire for granted until you really compare. That is going to be a gorgeous tank.

48" high, better bust out the 1k watt halides!

Starfire is low iron glass, which give the "greenish" tint to glass when you look through it.
