I came home from work today and my Coralife Aqualight was making a crackling noise. The metal halide bulb was barely lit, so I decided to take it apart. Well it is a double ended bulb and one end of the bulb is completely burnt and partially broken. The socket is cracked and burnt also. What could cause this? This unit is brand new and been up and running for close to two weeks with no problems. Also where can I get replacement sockets, I have searched the internet, but no luck.
