    ok so one of my bulbs went out in my tank so i got all new ones(all the other ones were old) so when i changed the bulbs the same one still didnt light so we took of the reflector after an hour of taking out rusty stripped screws ( on some of them we had to drill out the screws0. after we did that and were just about to cut the connecters we decided to try the other atinic bulb and it worked!!!!!! how does that even happen!! two faulty bulbs in the same socket luckily we bought like 10 more bulbs but there at my dads work so tommorow were gunna get a new bulb and reasemble the entire light fixture ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so angry.

    I'm thinking the socket was intermittent. All the jostling and wiggling probably scraped off some corrosion.
