Yup, that's what I heard happened. Here's the proof...
Quoted from Himself's BCA ad:
"The 250watt DE are also Giesemann and they are Blue so 20,000 $90"
I concur with your last sentiment. He tried to rip me off too after I helped him out when his tank cracked. I pmed you the details, Jiliguala.
On a brighter note, I've heard lots of good, positive reviews about the Geisemann lights & whoever buys it will end up with an awesome light. Can't afford Geisemann myself, but I'm perfectly happy with the Aqualight Pro I recently upgraded to.
