I picked up an AquaMedic Turbofloater Multi 1000 for under 200.00 and that included shipping. No other retailer came close to that price.
Place was ocean encounters

http://www.petsmart.com/fish/shopping/products/product_726.shtml petsmart has 200 gallon buckets of instant ocean for $32.59 plus shipping and there shipping for 1 bucket is $7.99 and shipping maxs out at $10.99 according to website, so you could order multible buckets and only pay $10.99. No mention of weight restriction on this product. Only mention of additional weight products was dog and cat foods and cat litter.

super buy

uv sterilzer 9watt @ LFs on clearance for 12$ ! !!

turbo protien skimmer for 39.99.

45lbs fiji live rock for 149.99 with free s/h

 

[lbaier]

on ebay i bought a protein skimmer for only 22$ http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2329924760&category=20758

it works perfectly and the seller is the same, he gave me a customer service # that does work and everything. i've had no problems. the shipping is 11 $ i think so it only comes to 32$ which the ones that are comparable to this are around 100$ or more, good luck

 

[lbaier]

I'd take a road trip down to NC for that deal! how'd you do that?

from fellow hobbyists:

30 lbs of lr: free
20g long: free
assorted powerheads: free
hamilton 4x55 watt pc unit with newer bulbs: $75 (doesn't quite fit the theme, but it's a great price)

now all i need is a bag of sand, a remora or a bak-pak, and maybe a HOT fuge (and fish and corals or course)

 

[Salt4Us]

We are hoping this is a good deal, it's from our LFS, Fish 2000 in Tustin, CA
2 Hamilton Power Compact 96w 36" 2 10,000 one blue one white.
retrofit.

For 199

Is this good? Been checking around online, they want over 230 for it.

I'm not sure, you might wanna pm fishfreek, I think he did 96W PCs on his 80 and it seems to me the best deal he found was buying the ballasts at one place and the bulbs at another.
