A pic and some specifics would help.
What are your water paramiters? Did you also check temp,pH and salinity?
Skimmer or no? Any changes that you made recently? What size tank and total wattage of your VHO?

OK..
Check for calcium and alkalinity. Otherwise your minor parameters look good.
Check to see what is written on those bulbs, hopefully you don't just have standard normal output bulbs. Is there a large ballast to run those bulbs?
