Black Friday reefing deals/purchases?

[IOnceWasLegend]

Given Black Friday is rapidly approaching, I just thought I'd start a thread for people to discuss what they're getting (and what deals they might be looking for). I know I'll probably be loading up on some Fritz salt with Saltwater Aquarium's 15% off MAP deal: https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/

Aliexpress jebao things were heavily discounted from 11.11 sales, i think they still may be

Ill be keeping an eye out on a few sites for specific things.

I'm hoping SWA has a deal on Neptune equipment. I'm going to give the Trident NP a shot and looking for a few other things like a PM1, FMM, and some magnetic level sensors.

Polyplab genesis block is on sale now on the 15% map deal now, but waiting to see if it drops further.

Keeping an eye on Premium Aquatics to see if they have a deal on Reef flakes so I can get my sand.

Eco flow has had a few deals out lately, so I'm trying to find a good deal on a delta 2 or River Pro for back up battery purposes.

Printed reef had a 30% off the whole site sale last year. I got a few things in my cart like the tune pump stand and BRS space saver jug stand in my cart. Hopefully they do that same sale this year.

I think I have a spare PM1 if you're interested.

I probably should be looking for a deal on some salt, down to under half a bucket of reef crystals.
Unless someone has some in a garage not being used and is willing to trade for it. I only have reef crystals cause I got two for one cheap at AC for some event a year ago. So I have no personal preference as I wouldn't know the differences anyway.

I'm also keeping a eye on the new Nicrew hyperreef gen-2 200watts. Maybe they will have a deal around Christmas time.

I have been planning to get several items, including a new return pump and another Hydros wave controller, but looks like I do not need these anymore. Now, surprisingly, my Aquarium BF list is very small - need to come up with more ideas.

I will look for the following:
- a Hydros XP outlet
- Plug an play UV sterilizer - bought the one recently from Innovative Marine for the nano tank which works great. Trying to find a bigger one for the IM 150 or just use the smaller model.
- Plug and play small media reactor.

Saltwater Aquarium seems to have a great deal on Fauna Marin salt - which is 10 USD lower than the Tropic Marin pro of the same size, its only real competitor and both are literally the exact same (quality) salt.

150W is the biggest one they have from what I've seen.

But I'm keeping an eye on them as well for Black Friday.

Got 160g worth of RS coral pro for $60 iirc from saltwateraquarium.com. They might have similar sales for black friday

The Gen 2 150W is only 2 pucks of LEDs now. The 3 puck on Gen 2 is 200W

Whoa. I see it now. Weird. I had to type in 200w for it to show. Thanks for the info!

They just released them this month. Before this i didn't see them on amazon. But the gen 2 controller has been on over a month. I would probably start by getting the controller upgrade if it works with my current 150 gen 1s. I need to look into it more

Yeah, i had seen the gen2 release, but i think I was not reading closely enough that it was a 200w upgrade too. Lol

zero plans this time around for black friday

 

[divewsharks]

I’m debating on adding some AI Blades to my Sky’s and I need a new gyre pump; my Red Sea is having controller issues so might get the AI version since I have a bunch of Vortech and Versa’s in play (simplify my apps). Stock up on ESV and salt.

Thank you! I just pickup a Reed Octopus Varios 2 for $110. I'm using one right now for the last 3 years, doesn't hurt to have a back-up.

Bought this low cost battery backup build for the tank. 2kwh for $360. 600W Sine Wave inverter, 25A charger with UPS function, which is perfect for my needs.

Also you'll be able to keep a close eye on the battery remaining working life. Stay confident and focused on every fishing trip without worrying about unexpected power loss! It is also about 1/3 lighter, and has an 8x higher mass energy density compared to lead-acid batteries.
