I'm pretty sure I know the answer already, but I just want some confirmation...

blue edge = starphire
green edge = clear

Is that true? The long sides of the tank are definitely starphire, blue edges. The end of the peninsula is that is shown here and it appears to be green and not blue.
 
I like the nice thick glass. I'd love this in a 29 gallon.
 
Here is one of the edges of a panel that is for sure starphire/low iron glass:

Big difference, yeah?

EDIT: I just realized what happened. They put the low iron panel on the overflow end o_O

Is the second photo resultant from maybe a lighting effect and not truly representative of the actual color of that pane? Starphire is more of a light clear/aquamarine/cyan look as opposed to a dark green of regular glass. I've never seen starphire that dark as in the second pic.

Well, this isn't really starphire, but "low-iron-glass" maybe its slightly different than actual starphire. The long panels are definitely clearer and have the blue edges. The end panel is the only one in the entire tank with a green color on the edge.
