Clearance Lights at petco

[Peace River]

Well, I did make it to the local Petco and they had already sold all of their clearance Coralife fixtures, but I did pick up a couple of clearance T5 bulbs that I can use. They still had a couple of the Fluval Aquasky fixtures that were not on clearance.

Really? Were they just not marked or did they not scan as clearance?

There were a ton of T5 bulbs at my petco. Hydor powerheads too!

No Fluval on the other hand.

I see nothing online but I'm going to go in store tomorrow. I scored a bunch of nls for 50-75% off a month ago

In store only. Fluval light section got replaced with new aqueon tanks. They actually look nice. Have an edgelite one I just set up and am cycling should post pictures

Here's the new aqueon edgelit if anyone is curious what it looks like. In case the video doesn't work I added photos.

The Fluval lights were not marked down for clearance and I did not have it scanned.

I just scored a 24" marine and reef led 2.0 (32 watts) for 40 bucks. I'm planning a mr aqua 12 long to replace my current nuvo 10, and this should light it nicely (I hope). If not I could always add a low watt bar or single bulb t5.

Thanks for the heads up on the clearance!

That's awesome! Congratulations on the deal on the light!

@Old Fritz - I was running an errand near the local Petco today so decided to stop in and ask about the Fluval Aquasky that wasn't marked down. They scanned it for me and said that in their system it still showed full price so I'm not sure how the system works. They did tell me that the New Tampa store (about 45 minutes to an hour away) still had lights on clearance, but I'm not sure that I'll have time soon.

Not sure where you are, but this was the palm harbor store. They had a 48" for ~$60 too that I skipped.

The Brandon store has the 36" I want, but it's $100 still. Heck I might grab that 48 for a rainy day...

that's weird. Maybe higher volume stores are keeping them. Don't really have an answer on that one

Went to 2 local Petcos... 1 in NY and 1 in Ct ... both had lights at 50% off, said that different areas/districts do clearance sales on different schedules. Eventually they will be further reduced

Both stores by me sold out of aquasky and coralife

huh generally thought they all went towards a discounted price at the same time since all the equipment for new displays is generally shipped out to every store around the same time.

My bad guys I would call in advanced first

Sounds like they may be run like Wal-mart where the manager has full power over clearance markdowns. You can find an item on clearance at 50% at one Wal-mart and then go to the closet one near by and they will still be at regular price for weeks. They also will not price match between stores.

manager has no control over it. Its automatically updated in the computer system

$32 for 48-60" Fluval Aquasky today. Still no price drop on any of the CoralLife fixtures.
