BCA,
Just noted on Marine Depot.com that the 36 Watt version of Coralife's UV Sterilizer in on special right now for $159.99 US dollars. If you order it online through Big Als.com and have it shipped to US post office box, they will beat that price by an additional 5% which makes the price $151.99 before shipping. Marine Depot charges 9.99 for shipping whereas Big Als has free shipping over $75.00. So even with the exchange rate that unit cost would be around $165.00. Add 13% tax as there is no duty on that sort of item from the US and your total would be around 185.00. Not bad for a $221.00 unit at a local store. I guess it comes down to what your time is worth!
Cheers All
