Makes me wonder if actual black Friday and cyber monday sales will be and different

I don't think they changed last year, either. I'd expect the same discount, with the only change being doorbusters.

BRS' Pukani rock is at a GREAT price right now. I bought 50 lbs. of it last year while on sale, and this year's pricing is even better.

This industry doesn't have the crazy margins or volume potential that those others you're thinking of do.

I have seen the wholesale price list. The markup on most items is huge. Even without seeing those prices, you can see how much BRS charges for things compared to the LFS...

Actually Premium Aquatics has 16% off.

$5 off a $50 or more purchase at BRS: [FONT=&quot]5SC50B[/FONT]

Another decent way to save a few bucks is to purchase an eGift card using the earlier $5 off coupon, and then applying it to your order.

I'm debating if it is worth it to upgrade to the water saver BRS unit on sale from my basic 5 stage AWI I have now.

I put a compiled list of the BF deals I could find here:

http://slickdeals.net/f/6476114-aqu...um-aquatics-and-many-more-15-16-off-site-wide

NTP66 · Nov 25, 2013

Summary of current deals (coupon codes in parentheses):

BRS: Doorbusters, 15% off sitewide, $5 off (BRSC12), $5 off $50 (5SC50B)
Premium Aquatics: 16% off (Turkey16)
TB Aquatics: 16% off (GOBBLE16)
AquaCave: Doorbusters, 15% off (BF15)
Cultivated Reef: 20% off coral/inverts (20%OFF)
Your Reef: 30-70% off coral, 10-30% off fish/inverts
SaltwaterAquarium.com: 10% off Neptune Apex products (APEX) - valid only on 11/29!

If you're looking to save a few bucks on a brand new Apex, that last deal may be for you. $5.99 shipping on orders under $100, and free shipping on orders $100 and above - not bad at all.

Damn, talk about timing...

Jrod4 · Nov 25, 2013

LOL very nice

Of course not, Ecotech don't allow vendors to run specials. But if you search around, there is one specific dealer that will discount them. I have bought all my ecotech products from them for that reason.

If you wait till actual Black Friday, Ecotech is having 20% off rebate on the mp10,40,60.

which is this "one specific dealer"

all i want for black friday is a MP40! but somehow i do not believe the 20% off buzz

I'd like to know this one specific dealer, too.

As for the Ecotech rebate, they have a 2013 BF rebate page setup on their own site (http://ecotechmarine.com/blackfriday2013/, password protected now), so I'd say it's probably legit. I doubt they'll release much more information until BF, though.

GroktheCube · Nov 25, 2013

I ordered a Tunze wavebox along with some other odds in ends from PA. Happy Thanksgiving to me!

ColtonMeng · Nov 25, 2013

oh dear god why did I stumble upon this thread.

ANNNNNNND now I'm going to be broke.

I've updated the list with several more stores.

BRS just killed my bank account, those damn 1.1 ML dosers

JRR1285 · Nov 25, 2013

Wow, I need to get an Apex somehow.

Here is the reply to my email from EchoTech Marine regarding the 20% rebate. Looks to be very real.

Edward,

Thank you for contacting EcoTech Marine! The sale will begin on Friday the 29th, but more details will be released as we get closer to the sale date. Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page!

Thanks,
Alex

I bought a used MP40wES a few weeks ago for $300, but may wind up buying a second thanks to the 20% discount. $93 is a hell of a discount, IMO, and everyone else seems to be charging WAY too much for used MP40s.

Depends. On many high end products the margins are maybe 25% and then often they pay shipping on their orders too. So they can be working on 20% margin for many products. 15% off isn't a bad deal then.
