Thanks Levi! The reason is because i got the hood fan for free from my sister She renovated her kitchen last year and decided to use a different hood fan after purchasing that one and she didn't get around to returning it to the store. It was sitting in her garage collecting dust so I dusted it off and installed it. I'm not a huge fan of it (see what I did there?) but it gets the job done and was free. I might look into getting a new one next year.

By the way, I am currently in the market for a new refrigerator. Just thought I'd put that out there. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day everyone !

Hand's up who likes coming home from vacation to find a dead controller unit ?? Anyone? Anyone? FRAK.

On another note, does anyone know where I can find a new Profilux 3 quick? I've tried all my LFS and apparently GHL now sells direct to customers, which means they are shipping out of Germany ? I don't know if I can wait that long. Maybe Michael has some in stock still. I should PM him.

I have dealt with GHL directly before and the shipment was considerably quick. Probably a week or something.

Not sure I can wait a week considering my tank has been without control (lights) for about a week now. And without my head unit I'm relying on the heaters built in thermostats directly which is kinda scary too. I think one (out of 3) of them might be busted (stuck on) but thankfully it's only 250watts so probably (maybe, hopeful; yay prayer reactor!) won't nuke my tank?

FWIW the last time I bought Ranco and some accessories I did so direct from www.etcsupply.com. Shipping was not too prohibitive however in think I did have to put in my postal code to get the correct estimate. If you just leave the address as Canada on the estimation step it shows way more than it actually will be.

Thanks Tony. How long did it take you to get it shipped ? I'll have to talk to Dave, I think he was going to bring in some Rancos. In addition to the Ranco, I'm seriously considering just getting some programmable outlets for my lights and keeping it old-skool. I don't really use my controller for much other than to turn the lights on and off and to control the heat/fan.
