Boxing Day Sales!

[iceman86]

I didn't even bother with boxing day this year. I checked the online stores and they had small sales on stuff you don't always consume, cleaning stuff, filter socks, nets, a couple bucks off already jacked up equipment etc. Nothing enticing to pull the trigger on. I usually load up on my consumables on boxing day, like bulbs, salts, carbon, zeovit, etc. Local sales were OK on live stock but it's the same sales they put out often year round since the hobby took a tumble.

Pisces still had salt for $40 like usual. Buying salt at big als was always a hassle, $50 with a $10 mail in rebate. I know some of the stores didn't get all the livestock they were expecting, because of the cold snap we had before Christmas.
Concept is building me a 70 gallon frag tank, euro top,external overflow, 2 drains 2 returns for a very good price. Got a Bariene tang for $60.

Oh and Wai's has 20% off Zeovit Supplies and carries just about the entire Aquaforest line which is priced like a sale naturally

Aquaforest was on sale at the LFS in Edmonton.

I think most of the stores do the best they can considering almost every manufacturer seems to be running MAP requirements to sell their goods these days.

Even the online Canadian retailers like JL and reefsupplies didn't have any blowout deals on equipment or supplies. Very sad as I was hoping to find some amazing deals.

True statement... the $10 mail in rebate only applies to 1 pail
