Geeze this hobby sucks sometimes.

I guess it's the season. I replaced my halides a few weeks ago with the ebay bulbs, everything was going great until my coral figured out that it wasn't just a cloudy day at the reef. And with the blue lights it's hard to see coral getting blue color, and coral bleaching . I've gone back to my old bulbs now, and seems like stuff is recovering, but I have probably lost an 12"+ blue acro, a large red digi, a rock nearly completely covered with a superman monti, and a 200+ head zoa colony . So much for saving money with cheaper bulbs.
