Reef Builders Black Friday Sale Compendium and Top 10 Picks

With Black Friday sales starting tonight, I thought it fitting to put together a list of as many sales as possible. If I did not mention your company, please feel free to shout yourself out in the comments, and I’ll be sure to add you to our list. Before we start, the most important thing you can do is buy locally and support your LFS. They are the cornerstone of the industry, and most of them will have the same or similar discounts as what’s described here – be sure to ask them about their local deals and show up for Small Business Saturday.

We will start with what I view as the top 10 most valuable sales this Holiday season in no particular order.

Top 10 List

It’s not often ICP tests ever go on sale – these tests are paramount to modern reef keeping – right now is a great time to stock up on enough tests for the year – Triton is offering their test for 30% off sold as a single, three pack or six pack.

Julian’s products are some of the highest quality on the market, and most are still hand-mixed. Those who run calcium reactors know one of the most important items to have on hand is extra media – right now is an easy time to take advantage of the 15% off sale to restock.

An easy way to set up a new system or purchase a tank that can be used for QT or a sump.

Nutramar is some of the best food on the market – it’s processed via cold extrusion, which maintains more traditional value than traditional freeze-dried foods – it can also be stuck to the walls of your system due to its texture – right now, it is a perfect time to give it a try or restock.

Assuming you have a quarantine system for your fish, this is a great time to get some new livestock for cheap. It also has the bonus 7-day guarantees on most livestock, 30-day guarantees on captive-grown corals, and live arrival guarantees on expert aquatic life.

Hydrospace PNS Pro Bio is one of the only coral-associated bacteria on the market serving as a diazotroph, directly providing your corals with a nitrogen source. Right now, you can buy individual bottles for 15% off or the entire home grow kt for 20% off.

Test kits are one of the most important aspects of reef keeping – the holidays are always a great time to restock reagents or get new kits.

Terra Reef is the only humble fish-certified coral vendor. They provide 100% aquaculture and quarantined corals that are certified pest-free – if you’re looking for corals in peak health, Terra is one of the best options to purchase from.

Triton’s entire product line is on sale, including its concentrated and high-quality Core 7 line and new N-FUSE and X-PAND coral feeding products. Expect a video review of N-FUSE and X-PAND soon – as of now, I think these products are the future of coral nutrition in captive systems – now is a perfect time to give them a try.

Reef Octopus has always been a solid line. Right now, you can purchase that much-needed skimmer, wavemaker, or reactor for 20% off.
