Long story short. I had a 20g kicking around and I was going to upgrade the tank size from a 13g to this 20g. I noticed the glass is green at the seams. Is this okay to use for an aquarium or is this made for a terrarium?
I know about the iron making the difference in color.
1st picture is the 20g. 2nd is the 13g.

That's just regular glass. It's what's in all aquariums that don't use low iron glass. Fine for an aquarium
 
the glass is green because its regular glass. low iron or starfire glass will appear more clear/ blue. that glass is fine for aquariums, the low iron option is only better from a clarity stand point, simply aesthetics.
 
Looks like normal aquarium glass to me :)
Alright thank you. I have a 5+year old Figure 8 Puffer and I put more effort into him vs my 65g reef tank haha. I have had a cracked 40B and that was a disaster. I just don't want to ever go through that again. This is an older tank. Seams have no air bubbles in it. It's not a $1g special slap together job done on it.
 
Quick question while I have your attention. I have 2 established plates of Marine Pure in the 2 filters on the 13g. One is in a FLUVAL 30 and the other a Aqueon 10. If I transfer all ornaments and the two HOBs over to the 20g that has new substrate. Will there be an issue with a mini cycle or even a full on cycle?
