Coral Vue bulb lasts 2 weeks before breaking

Good news. Coral Vue stood behind their product and sent me a replacement bulb in exchange for the broken one. Perhaps I will use them next year as I've already switched in some new Phoenix bulbs that I had as spares.

Similar thing happened to me with the cheap bulbs from e-bay. One lasted 9 months before failing and the other one lasted a week or two. I switched back to phoenix bulbs about 5 or so months ago and no issues.

Coralvue is a stand-up company when it comes to warranty on their products. My Reef Octopus pump went screwy after 6 months. It still somewhat worked but would be a real pain to start-up. They ended up sending me a new one right away no questions asked. I then sent them the old one back once the new one was installed on my skimmer. All in all, great company to deal with.
