Best deals on Black Friday and what to expect this year

[Opus]

Anybody know if Adam puts the Deltec skimmers on sale?

He apparently does not. If you look back at his past BF stuff, he is not keen on the commercialism of it all.

As long as you are not the horde that is ganking / camping me at this moment we are good (server: Bigglesworth)

Actually I do not game as much anymore. Mostly PS4 console such as uncharted, tomb raider, and a couple others. I was into GW2 until recently my son convinced me to try wow classic. At the moment too many @sshats for me to get anything done. I like open world PvP (former DaOC junkie) but not sure how this wow thing is working.

FPS are too fast for me - I can't react fast enough so stay away so I'm not a liability to my team...

I only play FPS against the computer. I hate playing with/against others. Right now I'm into Farcry 5 maps and the same game I've been playing for 20 years - Age of Empires. My son plays a lot of FPS but he plays mostly at night. Seems most of the people he plays with live in Europe.

Anyone know if there will be any good deals on salt for BF? I'm going to need to restock soon and have been looking around. I can wait till BF though if there will be good deals.

The more I look and think about my tank, the more I realize I don't need anything and I'm ok with that.
Lights, still good, some replacement T5 bulbs may be nice but I run them so little that I probably can wait until next BF. LEDs are good forever apparently. Pumps, yup got 'em, only thing I might consider is replacement Vortech wetsides if and only if they go on sale, and then the "gracious" 10% off is only like $8 off, so not exactly game changing ... or more important (tempting) in any way. Skimmer is a good skimmer, so I don't need to replace it. And I really do refuse to support the coral industry that is nothing more than a huge hype machine that uses deceptions and lies to make it seem like they're selling something better than they are.

MAP policies make sales entirely depressing.

If Apex has a sale ill bite. Not sure if they will this year but it has been done before.

Usually the best salt deals happen during the year, just have to be on the look out. If you use instant ocean, Amazon seems to run it really cheap every 3 or 4 months. I use Tropic Marin and Petco has been the cheapest with their sales since DFS shut down.

MAP policies make sales entirely depressing.

And so many things have gone to MAP, even the smaller dollar items. I used to stock up on chemicals when one of the 15% sales would happen for Labor Day or July 4th, but now everything I would buy is excluded.

 

[HighChiefKC]

Noob here, what does MAP mean?

 

[lapin]

Minimum advertised pricing

This is set by the manufacturing/distributing company

 

[Brian W]

I cant think of a single thing I need. I'm sure that will change as the deals start appearing. lol

 

[MikeyLikesit]

I hope to see some aluminum or metal stands go on sale. I have an acrylic cube 60x36x24 225 gallon that needs a stand !!!

hey! PM me. I’m a modern cabinetmaker. Can supply you with custom canopy / wraps for metal stands. (Hidden compartments, electronic stands, anything really)

I’m trying to get into that side of the business...

 

[BuBBly FiSh]

unfortunately that is standard theses days most things are MAP not all but most.

sooo live it boy and girls and enjoy your 10% off

10 % off is nothing. For great deals on tanks and you live near a Fish place pet place buy there. There prices simply can not be beat. I bought a 200 gallon with stand and plumbing for 850 bucks Marineland

dang to bad you did not live closer. I am in the middle of a major reno and those cabinets looks great. wish you luck on the aquarium cabinets.

IMHO if you can do a nice Tslot with wraps I think you be on to something. it's modular and cheaper to ship across the country.

Usually a sale on salt for BF

 

[gobble]

You guys are really going to get excited about 10% off this or 15% off that? You can get those deals all year round if you know where to go, yes even on MAP priced products.

The Black Friday deals are again proving to be a non-event. The days of killer deals are long gone.

 

[Battlecorals]

Im hoping @Battlecorals participates in some way, would love a good acro haul.

Wow I can not believe i didn't see this till just now. yep, I've definitely got some things going on this year for the BF bonanza

Looking for a deal on a Poflux.
