Does this look like Starphire to you?

I just got some progress build pictures back from A.G.E. I'll be posting those soon in my build thread. However, one picture concerns me. It appears to be an end piece. The top of it is green. I didn't think Starphire had green at all, even on the edge. Do you guys think this is a Starphire piece?

it does to me...

 

[waynem]

looks more blue then green to me...lol

And yes I believe that it is starfire glass on the horizontal bit. The sheet running vertical, i would not like to say its not a great pic, but it looks more dark then green. Do you have another shot?

I have a starphire tank and it is clear (or nearly so) from the edge as well. That may be a reflection from the flash, but I would ask the builder to take some additional photos, edge on, to make sure.

That is starphire.

 

[gotfin]

the horizontal is starphire, the vertical one is questionable

 

[mpoletti]

yep, looks good to me.

 

[SuperR*]

Don't worry, My A.G.E. tank is the same way, I caught it when Tom sent me pick's in the shop of my tank and I questioned him on it. He sent me another picture of the Tank side by side with a standard Float glass tank and the difference was quite clear. Considering the clarity of the glass and the side by side I accepted that it was a Low Iron glass. I will post up the side by side pick if I can find it when I get home tonight.

Thanks guys. I wanted to make sure before it got shipped out. The horizontal piece may not be. It is only 3 sided starphire. The back piece is regular glass. I figured why spend the money on the back that I'll be covering up in black

I'll post more pictures in my build thread later tonight.

Another vote for starphire. It is!

 

[GlassReef]

Yup - that's Starphire. Pretty Robin's egg blue.

Hope you don't mind me asking a noob question but how do you recognize starphire? Just the blue tint on the edges?

The hue is different in a Sapphire and normal glass... as for the picture I vote for Sapphire as well....
