Mine is low iron on 3 sides. Wat I know is when light shines on the glass, the sides is blue instead of green.

Quality wise I'm not sure u meaning the "brand" of the source of low iron glass. I didn't ask abt tat when I get my tank.

There's a few slabs of glass samples at coral reef aquarium where it shows the different glass grade.

So far I'm satisfied with it, n reasonable pricing.

Tank size:36"x36"x24"

Return pump" 2x Reef Octo 5000

Skimmer:BK Double Cone 200 on Reef Octopus DC 5500s.

Wavemaker:2xVortech MP40wES

Chemical filtration:1xeducator FR(biopellets)

Chiller:1hp Daikin compressor.

Lighting:2 x Kessil A360we

Auto topup system: JBJ ATO + new jet 1200

Dosing system: Kamoer 3 channel.

Additives: ESV 2 part.

Power consumption

2XReef Octo 5000: 120watts

BK skimmer:50watts

2xVortech wavemaker:70watts

Daikin compressor:775watts

Lighting:180watts

Ato system:21watts

Exhaust fans:16watts

Refugium light:27watts

colour of corals when viewing from on top down view without water circulation and viewing from glass same?

I would say only the clam color still look diff only.

Eg. my green pagoda coral looks same from glass and top.

My purple monti has the same purple from glass and top.

My true fiber optic looks same from glass and top.

My coralline algae looks same from glass and top.

I don't have any real blue color so cant comment.

But clam is still different when u look from top and glass. I wonder if acrylic will solve this.

If u unsure, u may drop by and verify it.
