Someone want sell me a crystal glass tank, the edge of the glass looks lighter green instead of normal darker green. Is that genuine crystal glass?

I saw in a utube video, a guy claim that real ones are blue in colour at the edge.

my tank is using full starphire crystal glass and the edges are blue :)

Crystal glass or low iron glass also got diff grade. Those used for tanks are typically slightly tinted when viewed on the thickness side.

Good acrylic tank then is clear.

The one offer to me must be low grade crystal glass. It is same type as those sold in sea view at $145 for 3 feet.

I like acrylic but it is very exp.

Low grade or high grade still clearer than normal glass right ?

Yes. I just came back from sea view and check out all the tanks. Low grade crystal still a lot better.
