New to saltwater and all of the equipment that goes with it. I plan on taking my time as I build my setup. Do retailers ever have decent sales (like black friday, etc.) or are prices always pretty much consistent? I'm talking more along the lines of equipment as opposed to live stock.
Best time to buy?

Black Friday is always the best deals. I picked up my skimmer during a black Friday sale for a bout 150 dollars less than the rest of the year. Sign up your email for local and online newsletters. I get the occasional Easter, Labor Day, Memorial day 10 to 20% of sales sent to my email.

What are some of the better online retailers besides BRS? My local offerings are pretty sparse.
I'm in Idaho. Where I'm at we have one dedicated saltwater shop and a few freshwater shops with a tank or two of marine fish. That is outside of the usual big box pet stores.

To be honest, ... aside from giving any business I can to my LFS (not chain) you would be hard pressed to find better product selection, pricing, and most importantly customer service and constant consumer education than BRS. They are just that good at what they do. There are a few "new" items occasionally on auction at Ebay so check that out. Otherwise let BRS be your go to retailer.

Their videos are top notch. I'm about halfway through their 52 weeks series.
