Default Glass types ???

Experts,

Any idea whats the difference between "normal green tinted glass" and those "high quality " glass?

My current cabinet tank glass seems black tinted..

I am making a fgt with glass front panel... I saw the fgt tank glass seems like those green glass panel.

Any difference? ?

Hi, I'm no expert, but here's what i heard when i did mine:

Normal green glass: Most economical, slight tinge of green if thick (> 12mm)

Crystal glass: Most accurate color reproduction

Black tinted glass: Better for beneficial bacteria growth

Hope it's of some reference! Cheers

Welcome bro, I would say not much difference, all boils down to personal color preference.

For me I actually like green color, so green glass goes fine with me.

Enjoy your tank!
