30x30x20 braceless starphire

[Stardumb]

So my wife and I are looking at a 30x30x20 bracless with three sides starphire with center overflow and is plumbed for closed loop tomorrow. It's a Lee-Mar with 1/2 inch starphire brand new for $450.00. Does this sound like something we should jump on? Also, how do I verify that it's starphire because I have never seen one in person.

look at the 3 front panels-the edges should look crystal blueish = low iron glass(starphire)
and the back should look green

Well we are checking it out tomorrow, he says that he will show us a regular pane of glass to compare, so I will have to check it out.

Ok, so we got it! It is real starphire, went down to a shop to take a look at what ot looks like and did some research on here to compare pictures of it. My father-in-law and I will be building a custom stand and custom acrylic sump for it. So far this is what I have in my head for equipment:
Lighting- 250 watt metal halide, 150 watt metal halide with t5, t5, or a custom diy led system.
Skimmer- I'd like to have a cone skimmer but I would be happy with a regular one, I'm thinking a swc cone or eshopps cone skimmer. Any recommendations?
Return pump- Something that puts out 900-1,,000 gph, maybe an eheim?
Heat- Most likely an ebo-jger, pretty positive I won't need a chiller.
Wave maker- trying to decide between koralia or vortech.
More to come later.....taking suggestions.

I have a stand that'd be perfect for that tank. It's painted satin black and is 31 1/4" wide by 32 3/4" deep by 30 1/2" tall. I'm selling it for $100. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post some pics.

:wavey: Any updates? Where's the shop at?

 

[Stardumb]

We purchased it, now I'm gathering info and money to do the build. We are currently looking to buy a house so I don't want to set it up just yet.

I think what was being asked is where you bought it and whether they might have more like this at the price level that you paid.

 

[Stardumb]

We bought it from a guy in vista in San Diego.
