    Default Glass

    Does the Ultra clear glass actually make a difference?

    if the glass is 1/2 in thickness, you will notice a difference, if you have white gravel. but only if you look for it and run 10k lighting.
    where it really is noticeable is when you have the tank against a white wall and you look through both front and back panes of glass.
    low iron is "better", how much anyone will ever notice is based on how well trained there eye is.

    this is just based on my personal experience and opinion. i work with glass daily.

    Yes. I have it on the front pane of my tank, the sides are "regular" glass, I can see a slight difference in the coral colors from front to side.

    If that slight difference is "worth it" that is up to you.
