i thought pisces did a good job this year being stocked and having almost everything in the fish section at least 25% off
golds also did a good job with there buy one regular priced fish or coral and your next for 50% off (happening all week he said) Wais, great selection, but rarely do i see deals on coral so that was a bummer on boxing day concepts, small selection on fish and corals, but amazing prices, and i picked up a couple rare items i would not have got at other stores, good deals on boxing day too i thought also ordered from marine experence online, they had good sales on corals but half of the site was sold out by the time i got to pick what i wanted calgary for me was a sold 9/10 i think, i put in the effort and went to everystore and tried to buy something from everyone.

J&L did 25% off all livestock. Pretty damn good id say and way better then 0% off livestock.
I waited a few months for more fish knowing this was around the corner. Plus if they die i dont feel as bad  Most other stuff was 15% or so and i was going to buy cerrain things regardless of them being on sale or not. So even if i only saved a few cents on the $3 fish net Im happy about it.  Last edited by Coasting; 12-28-2016 at 04:16 PM.

Boxing Day Purchase
I made a major purchase this Boxing Day. Certainly the higher amount I've ever spent in this hobby in one day.
I was hoping for a little better deals on some stuff but didn't seem to be the case this Boxing Day. With that said, I think this is the case all around. Even if you take electronics for example, I didn't find any jaw dropping deals in any of the flyers. Part of it also has to do with the need. I wasn't looking to buy any electronics so I wasn't convinced that anything out there was a good deal... however, I think if I was in the market for a tv this Boxing Day, i would've convinced myself for something to be a good deal. While I was a little disappointed with LFS Boxing Day sales, I also feel for the LFS owners as the economy is having an impact on their business as well and they're out there to make money so we shouldn't be expecting the stars and the moon from them. Hopefully the economy will turn around and it'll be a thriving hobby all over again.

I didn't find the online sales that grand, bought a few things on J & L's website though.
I have no local fish store, and no longer drive, so I wasn't able to venture into the city to check the local stores out.

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.
