    Starphire is a low-lead glass that is much more optically transparent. Much more "clear" instead of "green" when compared to normal aquarium glass. It's also more expensive.

    When you look at a reef in a starphire glass tank, the water is crystal clear. A regular tank has a green tint to it, like Chris stated. To tell the different when looking at a glass tank, look at the end of the glass sheet at the seam. The glass will either be green, or it will be blue-ish. Green is regular glass, while blue is starphire.

    I don't know what it weighs. Fortunately, it rarely matters. Once it is in place, you don't move it again. EVER!
