Hi,

Slight disaster here - just got a new Vision 180 this afternoon and horror of horrors, left it down rather hard on something after lifting it out of the car...
Base is cracked

Anyone know where I can get glass replaced?

Thanks,
Aidan.
(Gah, I feel stupid! - but at least no fish were harmed )

Aiden,
Send a Personal message to platty 252, he might be able to help, or at least suggest who might be able to...

ps, no need to feel stupid, I've done the same myself in the past...and I bet we aren't the only two!!!

Thanks - will do.

Man that sucks, whatever about having to replace the base on a RIO 180, the base on a Vision 180 with its curved edge might be a little bit more problematic. Hope you get the problem sorted and welcome to the forum.

When i was about 14 i saved for months to buy my first tank.
I finally got the money together and headed into town dragging my mothers trolley behind me. You know the trolley with the tartan bags attached.
The tartan bag was removed so i didn't look stupid.
Into the shop i went and handed over the stack of coins for my verry first tank.
I tied the tank on with some string and proceeded to verry carefully drag the trolley home with the tank balanced on it.
I arrived home with my new pride and joy only to notice some scuff marks on it from the journey.
Time to clean my spanky new tank before putting it into place.
As i pored the boiling hot water into the tank and watched my tank's base shatter i remembered hot water and cool glass do not mix.
Disaster.
I loaded the tank back onto the trolley and scarpered back to the shop.
After explaining to the guy in the shop what had happened he replaced it for me.
God bless that man. Who ever he was.

I have been in touch with akeady and explained how to replace the base by fitting a new base inside the tank.

Excuse the rant. I just had a flash back.

Aha, so it's not just me who gets them, that's a relief - I thought Dementia was setting in!!!

Nice story

Thanks to platty - I'll let you know how it goes.

ATB,
Aidan.
