im runing two 175w mh bulbs 10k both are coral vues. yet one is burning a little bluer than the other could this bluer bulb be messed up or is it likely that one of the ballast has got an issue. if its the ballast anyone got a 175 ballast for sale. sorry for the wtb part just figued i would kill two birds with one stone.

Swap lights to see if follows the ballast or if it's the light.

are you sure they are 10k ? i do have 175w ballast if you need one. i have 2 250w too!

try running them for 2 or 3 days.
I only say this because I was in the same situation, sp I swapped bulbs/ballasts and it looked like it improved, but after another say or so, I couldn't tell the difference.

yeah the bulbs have been burning for about a month they were good for the first two or three weeks then this started to happen.
