Blue Reef Marine?

[SSpiro]

Rumors I hear are that they are closing?

Can anyone verify????

That store was/is fantastic.. very disappointing if they are.

If they are closing and having sales, I'm all over it - curious about equipment too..

 

[keithbou30]

ya i was in there monday and the guy was selling everything 50% off and he is selling everything!!!!

 

[SSpiro]

Going to call him tomorrow.. ***?

 

[Pacific Reefs]

Did they say why? Is it just the economy? The store is so new this really shocks me.

 

[SSpiro]

Same here. I'm in shock. It's been what.. 3 months max?

I'm going to call and confirm tomorrow.

 

[Cheekymonkey]

Yea I went today they are certainly closing... all drygoods and livestock 50% off... I bought a ton of salt, alkalinity, and a couple purple tangs.

 

[tangers]

Yep, I can confirm on that too. It is posted on the ORCA website under their sponsor forum/thread. I got a bunch of really nice corals. Everything... everything is 50% off. Really sucks to see that store go, really nice store with nice owners.

only orca members can get the discount? thats how i read it on the orca forum . . .

 

[SSpiro]

Can anyone confirm the discount? I'm not an ORCA member as being from Tampa..

And why discount to only members if they are going out of business?

And are they selling any of their store equipment? I need new lighting in the worst way..

 

[Cheekymonkey]

yea they are selling all the fixtures

 

[joshalicialtjt]

im gonna go ahead and demand the same discount anyways

nice choice of words...

 

[SSpiro]

I did speak to them, they are definitely closing..

I'm saddened..

 

[joshalicialtjt]

this stinks, at least im gonna setup some way of still getting to see them. ya the demand discount doesnt work cause i cant convey sarcastic tone on boards lol. is there a sarcastic smiley i could use . . .

 

[Pacific Reefs]

You don't need the card...hurry up not much left. Still a lot of blue and purple tangs and nice wrasses.

 

[Cheekymonkey]

Yea I went ahead and grabbed 2 purple tangs... $130 on LA, $30 in the store.

 

[SSpiro]

What all is left? Any coral? Any equipment?

Before I drive from Tampa..

 

[joshalicialtjt]

i would say not worth the drive more than likely. i was there at ten after noon and couple of people were pickin them dry especially on live goods

 

[JUICE!]

I was there last night......there are still some cool things up for grabs.

I grabbed a pink plate for $20 . There are some cool wrasses left also, and some sailfin tangs.....not many SPS, but a few LPS and softies

 

[AquaKnight]

What wrasses? Just the flasher/fairies, or still some of the leopards?
