It's the end of the road


Greetings all,

As some of you may know, I’ve been dealing with some severe health issues over the last 14 months. What I haven’t told many people is that I’ve been dealing with cancer. Cancer is not a pleasant experience. Because of the painful & taxing nature of what I’ve been dealing with, I have not been able to keep up with the demands of pfertz as I had hoped I would. My loving wife has picked up most of the slack for the last year, but it has been exhausting & has taken a toll on our lives.

To this end, we have decided to shut down the business so we can recover & reset both mentally and physically. We have had a pleasant experience over the last 5+ years, and I have enjoyed talking to many of you via email, answering questions, helping with aquarium advice, etc. but it is time for us to move on.

We are offering all of our remaining stock at 50% off. We don’t have a whole lot of pfertz left, so if you have wanted to get some of our pretty bottles in your hands, now is this time

Use code GOODBYE at checkout to receive 50% off pre-shipping totals. Customer service will still be available until we are out of product, but on a limited basis as I have the time for.

Thanks again for the great run, folks. It has been fun.

Regards,

Alex

Addendum: I am a particularly private person by nature, and do not wish to discuss my health issues any further. Thank you for understanding

I've been delighted with your products and will be sorry to see them no longer available. Guess I gotta' go stock up and start researching alternatives!

Best of luck and health to you and my gratitude for your contributions to this amazing hobby.

I am sorry to hear of your health issues. I wasn't able to be a customer of yours, though I would like to offer my good wishes to you and your family. Being in a family where my father and grandmother are 9+year survivors, I have faith you will pull through!
