It has lost the vacuum and whatever gas was in it, it needs to be replaced. TinMan

Yea, I know how you feel when it comes replacing bulbs, it costs me about 400 bones every year, keeping my corals happy is my main objective. That is a smaller size bulb so it won't be that expensive.......................TinMan
