well i just got off the phone with Premium Aquatics..they recieved the bulb that i sent back..they said it fired right up!!! now i am wondering if it is the ballast that has a problem..i tried it on another ballast and it still didn't work though...i really hope it is not a problem with the ballast..there is no telling how long it would take to get it sent off and fixed.....i will be back in La sometime next week..i will test out the Coralvue bulb that they are sending and see if i have any problems with it..hopefully i won't!!!
Bad MH bulb??

What ballast are you using?

I may be wrong but the older Coralvues ballast wouldn't light every mh lamp, It may be the case?
not sure...it worked the first day..i ran the lights for about 4-5 hrs..the next day, it wouldn't come on..i figured it was the bulb, but they said it fired right up when they tried it..i guess i will know when i get the new bulb...i may have to buy a new ballast

Well when you get the new lamp see how it does, if it does the same then return the ballast, it should be covered.
well i just got my new bulb...it works fine so far!!!!!.. i have been using one of my other bulbs in the ballast in question..the other bulb has worked just fine in that ballast..the new bulb is in one of my other ballasts and so far, so good!!!!
