I hadn't thought about that...replacing only one bulb at a time. For some reason I thought it best to replace both at the same time. I do that around the house for the ceiling fans, porch lights,...

Smile How often do you change your bulbs?

I have fixture with two 110 watt bulbs over a 75 gallon tank. I've had this setup for over a year now, and I'm wondering when I should change the bulbs.
