Very. one small sheet of maybe like 24x24 will cost you at least 60 bucks. We waste a ton of it in the shop though, I may swipe the scraps and build a small tank.

If I had to guess it would be well in excess of 2".

isnt that what they call "starfire" glass for fishtanks? if so, it is expensive, but they are making tanks with it. supposed to be the glass with the most clarity.

That's what I was thinking as well. If its the same type of glass labeled "starfire," you can buy tanks made with it, usually for a significantly higher price. I know a lot of reef keepers that have big tanks made with starfire glass. They do really improve the clarity.

Just an update, havnt posted any recent pics.

Forgive the fuzziness of the pic it was taken on my cell phone.

gil_ong · 08-12-2008, 08:04 AM

just thought i'd wh0re out one of the decent pics i have of myself. this one is especially poignant since it was taken by my wife (we can't seem to get her to break the habit of snapping the camera when she takes a pic, so this one is a mild miracle.)

trashion · 08-12-2008, 08:33 AM

Hehe. You're very handsome, Gil!

gil_ong · 08-12-2008, 08:58 AM

thanks for the compliment!

I like Rochester. It's nice. I was always surprised by just how clean and attractive much of upstate NY really is, compared to the mental image many folks have when they think about NY.
I used to pick up loads of beer there at a brewery near the Bausch & Lomb monument, and I'd walk around a bit while waiting for my turn on the docks. I dug it.

It's a good picture, too. I'm gonna guess that your wife either got very lucky or that your camera has face-recognition tech in it.

**Baby_Baby** · 08-12-2008, 09:21 AM

Great pic, Gil! University of Rochester is one of my scholarship schools! So is Colgate and about 3 others in New York. Sweet action!

yeah, upstate is completely different from NYC and the surrounding areas, but it's truly amazing how most people forget that there's a whole state attached to that craphole.

what's your major? if you ever come check things out, let me know!

**Baby_Baby** · 08-12-2008, 12:51 PM

Haven't picked out my major yet xD I should probably do that. I haven't graduated yet (still 15) but I'm about to (working ahead

) Should be done in the next 6-8 months.

I was thinking maybe Economics, English, Philosophy, Film and Media Studies, Computer Science, etc. :] Gotta narrow it down!
I'll be sure to let you know if I come up to New York!

Colgate wants me to go there and they have minors in Writing and Rhetoric and Creative Writing that I'm looking into

gil_ong · 08-12-2008, 01:48 PM

only 15? as in you're 15 years old?

**Baby_Baby** · 08-12-2008, 03:41 PM

In order to avoid spamming, here's a random photo of me that isn't even new.

Looking good. Colgate is the place to go between those two. Or if you like the coldness of upstate New York, check out Cornell.

one of the highest paying jobs in the US is chemical engineer with MBA.
but being a lawyer and/or politician is better because you can lie and steal all day and get paid for it.if you want to keep peoples respect beki;stay away from those fields.

**TheOldSalt** · 08-13-2008, 11:31 AM

Just stick with international supermodel; you might as well get famous along with rich.
( and then I can tell all my jealous friends that I know you )
