We started the tradition six years ago bringing you a heaping helping of Black Friday deals and this year is no different. In fact, we took the pulse of our readers to get an eye on what they are looking for and what they are looking to spend this year. There are plenty of retailers with great aquarium deals for you to choose from, so we narrowed it down a bit with some deals from our sponsors and friends. We are sure to have missed some, so please feel free to let us know what we’re missing and we’ll make sure to follow up as the week goes on.
Over the years we have seen some great deals on equipment, goods and livestock and have been known to hoard some extra cash just to pick up some great goodies for ourselves. Hopefully you don’t have to wait to open your gifts until later, but if you do, savor the next few weeks knowing you saved yourself a few bucks — and didn’t have to get out of your pajamas either.
Here are our selection of 2015 Black Friday deals in no particular order:
