No Cholly, I've always replaced the bulbs in my minibows with the corkscrews cause the ones that come with it get so hot.

And speaking of corkscrew bulbs, the one in my other minibow has burned out, lol, and my poor fish is in the dark.  Gotta get to Lowes but probably won't till the weekend.  Boo hiss!

Wendyjo, did the greenwater also coincide with installation of the corkscrew bulb? Without sufficient fast growing plants, I've had algae issues with them.

No.  But I'm too lazy right now to bring out a new tank for the betta so I can do a black out.  I *just* put my spare tank away after about 3 months of raising fry until they were large enough for my main tank, and I am SO SICK of having that spare on my dining table.  But I'll probably get around to it this week.  The fish seems fine - I've been checking my parameters and there is no ammonia or NitrIte, or even NitrAte with all the wc's I've been doing.  Everything I've read says the greenwater itself isn't harmful to fish.

That sucks...I've never had that happen in my tanks. Or algae of any kind.

Yes, green water is a type of free floating algae.

  I saw "Green water" and assumed the problem was algae bloom. Then again I also know you're  smart enough to figure that out if that was the problem ... those are some awful balls, huh?
