Okay, I just replaced my MH bulb. I put in the same exact bulb only a new one.

How many sheets of window screen should I put on there? The old bulb should have been replaced in Nov.

TIA

I changed mine a month ago smae exact bulb and spectrum, mine should have been changed months ago and I didn't use any window screen. I just reduced the photo period and raised it to what I had it with the other bulb after 2 weeks.....

Thank you Azurel. This is the first time I had to change the MH and I have heard horror stories about burning up the corals. I was very nervous about this.

I will reduce the photo period for a bit.
