Bulb Salt

[nbreau]

hi All,

I was examining my two VHO bulbs today and noticed a fair amount of hardend salt on both of them. Just donering if i am suppose to do anything to clean these off and wether it has any effect on performance.

Wipe them off with a damp cloth after they have been off for for a awhile.......the salt coating affetcs the lighting minimally.....just nice to keep things clean.

Sorry, Just wanted to use the smilie
Yeah..., as he said. Think of car lights when they get dirty and the big difference it makes when you clean them. A word of caution though, if you let your lights get dirty enough where the quality of light has really diminished, cleaning them all of a sudden can even cause some corals that are sensitive to bleach from the sudden intensity. This is an extreme uncommon thing though, but it has happened. I think most people don't let it get that bad though.
