I paid $750, but it came with leds, a skimmer, sump, 5 Koralia 1050's, Eheim 1260 return, and a large Vertex Biopellet reactor.
Sold LED's for $200
Sold Skimmer for $150
So now I am only into it $400. Thinking I am going to sell the Korlia's and the reactor as well. So there is another $150
So for $250, it's not a bad deal, even if it turns out not to be starphire. On top of that, I got all kinds of plumbing parts, heaters, and electrical components; little stuff that I'll definitely use, but adds up quickly if bought new.
As far as the glass, my LFS is going to loan me a glass sample to compare. I did pull it out into the sun today, and all the panels and eurobracing look to be the same material, so it's not looking too good.
That is a good deal, and I still lean towards that being star, I think any green we see in your pic is lighting or reflection, it just looks more blue in the one pic to me, though between camera settings, lighting, reflection, and different monitor color we are probably not all seeing it true as you see it.

If it's a leemar it should have a number on bottom back left, call them and find out if it's starfire. Guessing from pictures is useless.

I was looking at a marineland deep dimension starphire tank at reef a palooza on Sunday. The marineland rep told me that if you look at normal aquarium glass edge on, that you will not be able to see down the length of the tank. The glass looks dark. If you look at starphire, edge on, it looks turquoise.
I think that your tank could be low iron.
Of course, for color, nothing beats acrylic, there is just that little problem about scratching.
