Jayba Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) For my next tank, Im planning to buy ADA or just have one made similar as the seams on the ADA tanks are superior. Starfire glass is low iron glass, like the ADA tanks Edited November 15, 2011 by Jayba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfire glass is low iron glass, like the ADA tanks Do you have starfire? It looks good but expensive. Does anyone from edm know who can make one? cheaper than ada of course.

lgamboa Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 One month mark. Changed to glassware and runners starting to spread. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN5035.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN5037.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN5045.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN5046.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN5047.jpg Venturi effect from Lily Pipes. I don't think it really removes the oily film but it looks good. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN5039.jpg Foggy effect background. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/Photo0416.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nice looking tank. The picture with the fog in the background is aweseome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgamboa Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thanks Jay, It was quite moist yesterday so my window was fogged up. The fog picture was taken using a 3mb camera phone. Sometimes I think the camera phone shots looks better than my 10 mb point and shoot shots because there is only one setting with the phone.
