Waterbox Blue Friday

[JayP]

For those not aware, tomorrow is Waterbox Aquariums annual Blue Friday event. Their week long sales will go live (usually 15% off all tanks) and they give away mucho $$$$ in gift certificates during each of their live stream sessions throughout the day and have a $5000 gift certificate raffle at the end of the day. I'm not quite the fan I used to be as I've been a bit frustrated by the long shipping delays on some of their tanks and I think a few others here have dealt with the same, but the deals are still good and who doesn't like a chance to win free stuff?

Deals aren't quite as good this year. Looks like 10% - 12% off tanks and tank/stand combos. 15% off accessories/equipment.

I bought a WB tank today. Now waiting to see if I win any of the gift cards.

Hopefully you looked at the pricing closely. I've looked around and their discount prices are messed up all over the site. Look at the clear 6025 and 7225. The 6025 shows one price on one page and when you click on it the price is higher. And then when you add the stand, the price doesn't change. Also the Clear 30 price is wrong for the combo but if you add the tank and stand separately, the discounted price is correct.

Oh, I am CHEAP so I was definitely paying attention. I was waiting for the sale to get an AIO 50.3. When the site opened back up, it was double the price. I went to the freshwater section and it had the pricing correct. Same tank, just list the price incorrectly on the saltwater side.

Several of us have mentioned pricing errors on the live stream chat so hopefully Waterbox has their team looking into it. They also had some issues with it last year.

I was one mentioning it. I am also a previous Blue Friday winner!

I'm working on a diy co2 reactor in front of my PC monitor while watching the live streams.

They are not very exciting hosts. If it wasn’t for the fact that I love their tanks and know the contest are winnable, I doubt I would watch.

I was the owner spotlight for their Fresh Friday event last year.

Thats pretty cool! I will have to go back and watch it.

Well, another year of coming up empty on the giveaways. Crazy that while most of us come up empty year after year, others have won multiple times. I want them picking my lottery numbers.

I haven't paid enough attention to know of any multiple winners. I can't complain though. I am pretty loyal to them. I use their brand reef salt. Its good quality and when on sale as cheap as any of the quality brands. If I recall correctly, I don't think I won a Blue Friday. I think I won a Fresh Friday which they did 1-2 years ago to promote their freshwater side. I guess there is always that to look towards.
