Black Friday reefing deals/purchases?

Wait until the 28th if you want Tropic Marin salt too, it goes go 22% at BRS
The problem with the BRS doorbuster on TMP is that they often sell out quick.

So, TMP salt at 20% off and definitely available now at PetCo might be better than waiting for 22% off and maybe sold out at BRS on Thanksgiving. 2% difference isn’t much for the extra stress/risk. Also, PetCo has the 200g buckets if you like those, as well as the 160g boxes if you prefer those (BRS only has the boxes). They are almost exactly the same price per gallon, so it’s just down to preference.

As far as which is better to support, BRS and PetCo are in the same non-preferred category in my mind now. No LFS can hope to match their prices on salt unfortunately.

But you get those reefer points so that Mr Chili can go to college!

I wanted to try the Fauna Marin salt based on how excited @Alexander1312 was, but it sold out everywhere really fast too.

It looks like the door buster deals reset at 11pm our time so check in at 11pm Thanksgiving night for the salt.
 
Been looking at the T5 dealss having trouble deciding on what colors?
Im going with four 6ft t5 with Kessils down the middle .. Two T5 in front two in back..
Can you recommend what color bulbs? I do prefer a bit more white rather than the windex look but can always adjust with the kessils if the blues are the best
Thanks
Not sure if you got an answer yet. Too many posts to scour.
I checked out this on BRS TV

It would be tomorrow (Wednesday) night to check at 11p right? Unless I read it wrong.

Yeah, I got the last three 10 kg buckets at Premium Aquatics. Saltwater Aquarium had a crazy low deal on the 20 kg bucket and I was too slow.
 
CoralVue items came already! View attachment 63376

So you stole the other dosing containers, haha :). I also got my CoralVue delivery—none of the items I urgently needed.

1. Nano skimmer—I already have this running for the nano tank, but the pump was crazy loud, and customer service was 'unable' to help. A day after ordering this, the pump stopped making this noise.
2. Vario 6 S—I only found out after ordering that it cannot be directly connected to the wave engine pump port but only via 0-10 V. The silver lining is that I do not need another wave engine.
3. 5l dosing container.
4. My second (!) backup magnetic stirrer (plus three extra bars). This was a totally unnecessary purchase.
