    So, I have a Corallife 18W turbo UV filter I bought in June 2011 from my LFS.

    I noticed the bulb went out, I took it aproart and yep, bulb burned out.

    I priced them online- 15.95- includes fast shipping!

    Called my favoritie LFS- the one that usually matchs or has comarable prices?- $55! Hello? That ain't even close on this tiem! While I like supporting my local businesses when I can, NOT this time!

    The owners wife gives the phone to one of the employees, who of course says I have to make sure it's the right one etc. Like yea, I just fell off the turnip truck dude. The online ad clearly states- Corallife 18W UV bulb!

    Thanks for reading my vent
