minchton Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Heard a loud bang last night and discored that the glass on my 250MH had exploded. Is there anybody out there that has a spare glass cover by any chance please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I just got some made by ultra glass in wellington, but think they actually made them in their hamilton factory. just ask for toughend glass, mine were about 200x200x4mm cost about $10 each. your far better to get new glass, I replaced all 3 of mine since it was so cheap, new ones are heaps clearer and less likely to break than old glass. BTW I assume you have turned off the light?? Mine was only on for a few hours while I was at work and it killed a couple of my corals with the UV.

minchton Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 went to my local glass man and they quoted $140 per piece for toughened glass. Said each piece had to be hand made because of the small size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Don't know what size you are talking of here Mitch, but my "recycle side" comes thru and I'd suggest going to your local recyclers and getting an old Kent fire or similar or a micro wave oven and salvage the window out of it. Heat resistant and all that. Just a thought and a lot cheaper than $140. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 200x200 was the smallest ultra glass would do, but suggest you give them a ring, they sent mine from hams to wellies so cant see why they wouldnt send direct to you. I had to pay when i ordered it. fireplace and mircowave glass often has a tint to it esp if second hand plus you cant cut toughened glass so unless it is the perfect size your out of luck.
