Settled on a skimmer - finally

alexkharden · 12/24/2015, 12:22 AM

Ok, so I think I'll be purchasing an Aquamaxx/JNC CO-3 skimmer. The reviews seem pretty good on it, so I guess it'll be a good starter job for me.

My question is, are there any sales going on or coupon codes available for a retailer selling these? I've done the Googling bit, but I'm not finding much, and I haven't been in the game long enough to find the hidden/insider deals. Maybe someone is running a Christmas sale?

I don't know, I'd just like to save a few bucks if possible. Thanks everyone!

I got mine on a black friday deal from marine depot. If you have time, sign up for their email alerts and see if it goes on sale.

That is a cool looking skimmer but those tiny little cones on the bubble plate are going to be a pain to clean when it needs to be done.

Sometimes when creating an account and/or signing up to their email list some retailers will send you a welcome coupon code.

It's a great skimmer for the money. Just don't buy it from Big Al's. A lot of people including myself have had problems from this dealer. Also take a look at the lifereef. I sold my JNS for a lifereef and am very happy.

Yeah, I bought some nylon pipe cleaners just for that purpose.

Marinedepot hinted that they were going to have a little sale on them by the year end, you can see it for your self on their forum.

Specifically on the Aquamaxx line's? Oh that would be awesome!

Aaaannnnndddd, of course it's not in the CO-3's. CO-5's and 6's? Sure we'll put those on sale! 3's? Hell no. Se la vi.

I just got a used CO-1 shipping now; I hope it's as good as the reviews!
