Hi Folks,

One of my UV filter glass for my 250W MH just shattered into pieces - unknown reason. After about 3 days, those SPS placed near the MH bulb without the glass started to bleach and today I notice the back of some of the fishes also started to bleach! I've removed that MH bulb. Now I am looking at replacing the glass.

Any advise on where I can get UV filter glass? I got the measurement and size of the glass.

Thanks.

cheers,

simon

you need to get tempered glass for that application.

i can't remember where but you can get it at some industrial park.

hope some others can enlighten on this.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
