It's Black Friday and Cyber Monday time so why not talk about what we want or need for our tanks!?

Just a suggestion, but if ALL sponsors/advertisers on the fine print to the contract between you and them, would offer special on all their merchandise for black friday, be able to advertise or sponsor here, would benefit everyone if not most.

I saw 3 sell this morning at my LFS. I already have one.
All of my LFS were, like online retailers, only selling bundles. Since I have already invested in a controller and DOS I just can't justify pulling the trigger. :(

Like a lot of others have said 10% isn’t making me jump into anything right now. I’m planning an upgrade from my 30l and need all new equipment as this will be anywhere from 100-150, gallons, but haven’t seen really good deals.

Lights are too expensive. The actual hardware is cheap and essentially no different than any fluorescent light. How does simple software coding and fantasy sticker add sooo much of a mark up.

Fish.. . . and coral.
I am not ranting but rather expressing that the Black Friday sales on both were Disappointing. My LFS blew away BF prices by almost 47% and I did not have to pay delivery and wait three days. No incentive to shop online.
Additionally, I think as reef hobbyists, we are a little bit smart all the way around as we become problem solvers , chemists and make decisions that affect sustainability.
WE ARE NOT STUPID MY ANY MEANS AND I AS MANY OF US ARE VERY AWARE OF PRICES AND PRICING.
I REFUSE TO PLAY THE GAME WITH VARIOUS CORAL FROM CERTAIN VENDORS IN WHICH I DO TRACK MOST, BEING OFFERED AS AN EXAMPLE, AN ACRO AT $39.99 3 WEEKS AGO. THE SAME ONE WAS ADVERTISED AT $54.99 2 WEEKS AGO AND 30% OFF AND NOW FOR BLACK FRIDAY AT $69 WITH 40% OFF. AFTER DISCOUNT IS THE SAME $39.99.

This is beyond an insult and a racket to say the least and reduces my confidence in seller as a trusted supplier with these head games. If youre going to give a discount, A True Discount. . . fantastic. If youre going to play these number games- Dont bother.
This is more than one supplier. I m glad I was able to see through this and not get ripped off of my hard earned money not to mention the shipping risks this time of the year.

Thus far, I have found no real decent deals other than chemicals nd media. Very disappointing to say the least AND more than one LFS by me are matching all Black Friday online prices and deals !!

I'm new to the hobby and wish the lighting companies had better deals, I just want a light for crying out loud without breaking the bank.

Seriously though I would like some new pumps and a wavemaker. I like the Hydor pumps but would love the Vortechs with the cords on the outside of the tank.
My wish would be to win a new 100 plus gallon tank or have one gifted. That would be a dream come true. Have a great holiday weekend

Ecotech P40, or at least a replacement powerhead I don't have to keep replacing every 18 months. I've been very good, Santa.
