    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.

    Champion Lighting and Supply Co.

    Actually, from what has been told to us, a partner basicly took over (bought out the main partner), and they're changing there name(not going out of business). ALL retailers of CSL will honor CSL warranties, not just Champion. Think of it as a refresher for them, not going out of business. you'll still be able to get all the CSL gear, just under a different name brand. IMO this may really HELP CSL as they we're having some problems in a few areas. Many stores had a very hard time getting bulbs even shipped to them, as did many large wholesalers/distributers.

    The owner just had enough. One of the managers/managing partners is taking over under new name.
