If your a local Albertan buy them from red coral, they have a few in stock still i think, 3 foot and 4 foot.
Then you shouldn't need to worry about the expense of shipping and duty from the usa, plus Redcoral will honor their warrantee withing reason.

We actually bought the same fixture from E-Bay as well, the Odyssea 48" 4X54 Watt T5's with 4 LED Moonlight...it works great, quieter than any fixture we've had before. It's hilarious to hear about people talking about fire hazards and all that from information they heard or might have read about more than a few years old...where's all the fear in the Coralife lighting? Anyway...the unit seems cheaper because it is, but it works.

I dont know about you but I dont see very many people using coralife lighting anymore unless there is an old used fixture someone is selling cheap.

The common problem with aquatraders seems to be their customer service is lacking and people said that the stuff come failing (bulbs broken, not firing etc.) Customer services cannot be reach or do nothing. I tried contact them twice, first time was very fast turn around (in 3 hrs); second time is totally ignored (it's been 2 weeks, so don't think they will reply); if you check RC, it's the common issue.

Being in Canada with all the custom taxes and shipping, if you guys have a local LFS like Red Coral that is carrying that and handling the initial troubleshooting, it's definitely well worth paying 10-20% to more than the online ordering prices to have that peace of mind.
