I purchased a new MH fixture from a DRC member(thanks tom-annette) and I was planning on buying a new bulb. I figured the bulb might be a little dull, but now I am starting to wonder if it got damaged(possibly while I was obsessively cleaning the fixture) and may now be damaging my corals. My corals looked better then ever last night, but 2-3 tonight look like crap.
1) This is what the bulb looks like in the reflection. As well as the light it puts out in the second picture. What do you think?

2) What bulbs would people recommend for this type of set up and where would I get them? The tank it will be over is mixed
