I kow lol I tried to give him 19 for it but he wouldn't sell it lol I found ou tit even came with an extra bulb that was guarenteed to work but it was out of the package! its really a cool unit though, its made for ponds, 500-1000 gallons max, 18 watts all sealed unit. the coolest thing about it I think is it has conenctions for hoses liek barb connections and the other side has pipe fittings for hard plumping it, each connection has a valve so you can shut off the other side that yoru nto using. Brnad new its 149.99 honestly its pretty big too, its about 20 inchs long lol
