Explanation was for personal reasons, not financial. I'm a little surprised they didn't sell the company then.

Does this mean it will be hard to get replacement bulbs or are they pretty much universal?

CSL doesn't manufacturer the bulbs themselves. They'll be easy to find replacements for.

I got the same e-mail from champion and they are gonna honor all warranty stuff from csl.


"CUSTOM SEA LIFE- GOING OUT OF BUSINESS


Effective immediately, Custom Sea Life (CSL) is going out of business. They are closing their doors, not because of bankruptcy or business problems, but due to a personal decision made by the owner.

Through an arrangement with CSL, Champion Lighting will honor all CSL warranties on items purchased by Champion's wholesale, service, public aquarium and retail customers. This warranty will apply to all CSL products purchased in the past and for all current inventory, including refurbished items.

As always, Champion will continue to inventory replacement parts for virtually all CSL products. This includes CSL PC ballasts, metal halide ballasts, fans, sockets, UV's, chillers, and lamps for both the Power Compact and Metal Halide fixtures.

We will continue to distribute and warrantee Velocity pumps.

In the near future we will also be carrying replacement product lines for the PC Moon-Lite, Smart Lite, Power Compact line, Power Coolers, and UV sterilizers under the "Currents USA" brand name. We will continue to carry comparable metal halide hoods, retrofit kits, ballasts, etc.

Be assured that your Custom Sea Life fixtures, hoods, ballasts, chillers, etc. are not orphans. Customers that have purchased or are planning to purchase CSL products will be accommodated by Champion Lighting in every way. Feel free to contact us with parts needs or any concerns with CSL products."

That's the e-mail I got.

Don't panic.

We got the same news from our suppliers before the Champion email went out.

The "Currents USA" company mentioned in passing is the new company owned by one of the former partners of CSL. It will be more like a change of name than a true "going out of business."

And BTW, we are being informed by our suppliers that ALL CSL retailers will recieve full warranty support, not just Champion.
