obrien.david.j Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 On-Line Black Friday sales are here! This morning I got emails from BulkReefSupply, Saltwateraquarium.com, Aquacave.com, premiumaquatics.com and others. What's everyone ordered this holiday season? Got my first order in, 6month supply of Trident Reagents at 15% off. Let's hear what you order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff.Tichenor Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Be careful of the scams some of the less reputable retailers are pulling during Black Friday sales frenzy.. I am seeing more and more stores artificially inflate prices that the discounts are based on. Take for example BRS... I had a few things in my cart before the BF sales began. Noticed the cart price compared to the updated full (and sale) price now that BF is full affect... DI resin before BF: $12.74 now $14.99 discounted to $11.99 (only $.75 below normal retail price). Not a $3 savings as BRS implies. Here's another example of Magnesium. Normally $16.99 now BF discounted to $15.99 with an artificially inflated referenced retail price of $19.99. It is technically on sale and I am glad to save $1. But it's not the BF savings they want you to believe. scam Here is another example on citric acid. Before the sale it was $11.89 for 32oz. The super BF deal is $11.19 (with an artificially inflated reference price of $13.99) Support your local fish store this holiday season and don't get suckered into BF sales that are scams! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanoNerd Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I bought some critters from a web site, which I hate to do (because of all the risks and costs of shipping), but they had Pederson's cleaner shrimp in stock, and we wanted more than the one we have. Everything came good, large, healthy, but the only problem is... they sent us two White Spotted Anemone Shrimp instead of Pederson's. 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reach out to Jeff at cuttlefish, see if he can order you some. 12 hours ago, Brittany said: I use to use captiv8 manganese but it isn’t sold on any of the normal sites anymore, anyone have a great source of manganese? Here's my source: https://andremueller.e-junkie.com/product/1577105/Reef-Moonshiner26230393Bs-Elements---Manganese-500ml I'm currently doing a monthly ICP-MS. With a goal of ~0.25 for Manganese and ~0.75 for Iron, I'm using a daily does of 12ml/Manganese and 24ml/Iron. 45 minutes ago, Krux said: I may have accidentally picked up some pieces from @World Wide Corals acro sale yesterday.

I feel like most of my coral shopping trips to C&C end up as a sort of mystery box, Jeff knows what I need and I just hand him my credit card without asking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
