Major Screw up I am

[Ezekielz]

Hello, I just accidentally broke my 28 g bow front glass hood. i have been searching online but have found nothing. What on earth can I do?

[spunjin]

Is that the euro bow front?

[Manzanitadude]

What type of tank? Check the manufacturer' website for a dealer listing. If its just the straight portion of glass, a glass dealer cun cut you another one for cheap.

[Ezekielz]

I have no idea if its a euro. I'm not even sure if its 28 gallons. Its the curved portion btw. Oceanic Tank. Already checked the website, the tank isn't even listed.

If the back of the tank is mirrored then it is what they lable as euro. It has a different arc than the AGA bow front. Check on ebay or what Manzanitadude said.

[Ezekielz]

How can you tell if the back is mirrored? What does that mean? I painted the back black.

[spunjin]

You would be able to tell if it were mirrored or not. If you can't tell by looking at it then it probably ain't mirrored. Who manufactured the tank?

[Ezekielz]

Oceanic

[spunjin]

good luck.

[Ezekielz]

Great

Well I took out the frontal (bow) portion and stuck the straight portion back in that way I can protect my light. The front of my tank is vulnerable to a fish jumping out however Im currently cycling my tank. I would like to get cardinal tetras, a gbr, and some cories. Anyone with experience have these fish jump out on them?

Bring the broken glass portion to a glass company and have them cut you another piece.

[Ezekielz]

Everything snapped its in pieces sitting on my floor atm.

[Ezekielz]

What happend was I had my office chair in front of my tank however I had my hood on the floor because I was cleaning it and I was too lazy to put it back on top of the tank. So while my chair was infront of my tank, I didnt realize the wheels had rolled over the front portion of the hood. So I went to sit down on my chair to look at my tank and yea you can guess what happend next.

[shawnhu]

I guess that's a sign to lose some weight! jk, everyone makes mistakes. At least it wasn't the tank that was on the floor!

[Ezekielz]

lol I knew I would get that joke, im only 130 lbs btw.

[Manzanitadude]

Are you certain that its oceanic? I have only heard of Marineland making a 28 bowfront.

Try finding a dealer / retailer for Marineland equip HERE (http://http://www.marineland.com/sites/Marineland/Dealers/dealers.aspx?id=1920)and call them to see if they have a glass top that would work. The other option is to have a glass company make a canopy out of lexan or plexi. Take careful measurements.

[Ezekielz]

I think it is marineland now that I see their logo right on the glass canopy.... wow.... Okay but your link isnt working, i appreciate it.

[shawnhu]

My tank was made by Topfin, or Perfecto, and came with a MarineLand glass canopy. It's a 46G Bow.

Cant your LFS order one for you ? Im lucky here my LFS can get anything i mess up within a week or so as a special order.

I would go to the store where it was purchases.
if they sold it to you they can most likely get you an new canopy for it.
or if you can make a template out of paper or cardboard, get a local glass company to cut a replacement for you.
