T5 issues!!

[squibege]

Pictures are taken 2 days apart. Tank is much less blue now. At first I assumed it was just more diatoms building up on the rock but comparing pictures immature it has to do with the bulbs.

My original 4 bulb HOT5 (Fluval) decided to stop working a few weeks ago, so I bought a new 2 bulb HOT5 from the LFS that came with one actinic bulb and one white bulb (I'm planning on adding some LEDs in time to it). The light was not taken off the tank- just slid out of the way to feed with a turkey baster and back again. Both bulbs are still light up

Did my actinic die? Should I put in a warranty claim?? I don't want another light to be busted!!
