Merry Christmas CanReefer's.

You can say what you want about the savings on Boxing Day.

All I know is that it has been a lot of fun the last few years, first standing in line with all my reef friends and then seeing what they are buying.

I have always used the Boxing Day sales to replace my supply of staples. Things like light bulbs, additives, test kits, probes, water filters etc. By replacing them on Boxing Day you may only save 10 - 15 % which then can be spent later during the year on more exciting thinks.

See you all at J&L about 7:30.
Oh don't forget it is your turn to bring the coffee.

Of course you can talk about it. Its just that in those "other" threads there was some good discussion last year about it yet this year it was mostly "bumping" and non-constructive posts I guess. It doesn't help that people were speculating as to why prices were raised. Nobody actually knew the real reason or had heard it directly. Prices could have been raised for a number of reasons. However I didn't hear anyone complaining/raving last year when J&L dropped all of their prices by 5% because of the strong canadian dollar. Anyway, thats enough of that.

Personally I'm miffed because even though I finally live over there I still don't get a chance to attend any boxing day sales. Phooey!

I will still be glued to my computer though.

Wow Tom, I wasn't really thinking I'd need anything this year but after reading your list I'm thinking I should peruse the site once again

Does anyone know the dimensions of the 230 gal tanks on sale at Aquarium Illusions on boxing day?

Delphinus · #5 12-25-2006, 07:37 PM

A standard 230 is typically 72x30x24. Sometimes the 30 and 24 dimensions are flipflopped, ie some are 30 tall and 24 wide and some are 24 tall 30 wide. I'm not sure which one is the "more standarder" 230.

Most common is the 30 tall.

Thanks for the information. I was looking for a 24 X 24 X 96 which is approx. 230 gallons. Either plexi-glass or glass. Does anyone have a price on a plexi-glass tank in those dimensions?

Ok The Boxing Day Sales for 2006 are History.

So lets hear what you bought.

Other than staple items salt, and light bulbs I got a great Scotts Fairy Wrasse and an orchid dottyback for the 125G
