Heater Deal at Kensfish...

Kensfish has Hagen Elite Submersible Glass Heaters on sale right now.

I've had as good of luck with these as any of the other brands and the price he's offering is great.

Just picked up a few in time for winter (and a bunch of food).

Just dropped similar today on an order but no heater's - have all I need for once. Flake food, sponge filter parts, breeder nets/boxes and a couple of Deep Blue freshwater T5 fixtures, and all I really really needed was de-chlor.

Ahhh, the glories of retail therapy.

Any more they're the only thing I buy. They're built better than the Coralifes (which have press-fit housings so they can't be opened/repaired if anything goes amiss), come with separate switches for each of the two bulbs and have moonlights to boot all for basically the same cost. The only thing they didn't get right was "hot-wiring the moonlights - if the fixture is on so are the moonlights and there's no way to put them on a separate circuit/timer . But $60 for a 48" freshwater fixture with moonlights? If the shorter fixtures were correspondingly less expensive I wouldn't be running anything else. Only other thing I'd change would be to give them legs, even just wire ones would work as the fixtures are very light - suppose one could fabricate something to get them up off the glass lids just a few inches and spread the light better.

The Coraliife units aren't bad, but I resent/reject stuff that's made to be tossed if it fails as it's just a crap way of manufacturing/doing business.

Good stuff, Pete!

Perhaps he'll become a CCA sponsor...and participate in our Mar event

So maybe I am misunderstanding your description, but how can they be called moonlights if they cant be on separate from the flourescents? Wouldn't they just be "LED's to add a blue tinge to the water"?
