[APD] Custom Sea Life may be coming backs as CurrentsUSA ?

[Michael Skidmore <mskidmore at alamedanet_net>]

I think CSL's product lines may be coming back soon under a new name 
and ownership. Wonder if the warranties for our UV sterilizers and 
smartlite retro kits may be good again? I couldn't find their

I got this on 5/18/04 when looking for a Smartlite retro kit:
Hi,

Thank you for your response.  CurrentsUSA has taken over the CSL line 
of products and we will have their stuff up on our Web site hopefully 
by the end of the week.  But any items that have the CSL name on them 
will only have the 30 day warranty.   

Sincerely,

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 that were purchased by Champion's wholesale, 
service, public aquarium and retail customers. This warranty will 
apply to all CSL products purchased from Champion in the past and for 
all current inventory, including refurbished items. Warranties on CSL 
products purchased elsewhere cannot be honored by Champion.

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.
