There is only one way to put the bulbs into the socket. At least from the bulbs I have seen..

lol then I guess that answers my question... I could have sworn there was two ways. Was I clear in my post? If not I'll try to get a pic and show you what I am talking about .

It only lets you put it in one way as it has ceramic on the top of the ends.
*Note this is a side view. The top faces towards the Upper Left corner of the pic.



On a side note: With DE bulbs never ever touch the glass with your fingers!!

Yeah I think I am confusing myself now. I can't even describe what I am talking about really. Inside the bulb is like a metal strip, and when the way the bulb is in my pendant, the metal strip is facing down towards the water surface, I thought it should be facing up towards the reflector so it reflects better? I am probably way out to lunch here.

Did a google search for Hamilton DE bulbs but can't confirm this is what yours looks like. Maybe you can though.

Hmm, nope I don't think so, but hell I haven't paid real close attention to the bulb. I'll let you know, I mean.. it can't really be in the "wrong" way otherwise it wouldn't be working . I think I am just looking into it too much.. I just thought that because the metal part is facing down that it's not being reflected as well as it could be. I wouldn't doubt that I am just out to lunch though ahahha....

Do some water changes to help with the algae too, especially with your new anemone coming soon.
