Default danger question?
My 250w MH blubl exploded the other day, but only the glass casing....

Is it possible to run the light without the glass surrounding the filament? Or advisable, maybe I should ask?

Thanks,
Dunl

How does the glass keep the fish from being sunburnt? Isn't it just clear glass that surrounds the filament?

That is the UV shield that keeps your fish, corals, and you (your eyes and skin if working in the tank) from getting burnt.

Darn....was hoping I could run it while I got a replacement.


Thanks for the heads up.
Dunl

PS. How about self-tanning? I'm looking a little whitish lately.....
