“Matt,

Here is the scoop on our party next Friday...we are closing at 4:00 pm and reopening at 6:00 pm for the party. It is scheduled to last until 10:00 pm - but you know how that goes! The store will be stocked to the roof with hundreds of new fish and corals.

We will have other specials that night, but the main ones are 25% off all livestock, live rock will be $2.69 per pound no minimum, ticket raffle every halfhour, silent auctions, * some * livestock silent auctions (maybe 5-6 premium fish/corals). Food will be provided, as well as soda,water,beer and wine. It's a fun night..

Hope you can come!

Greg”

kelly and i are coming.

 

[Brazengrrl]

We will be there, might be a little late cause I will be working...........Sounds like fun Greg & George!!

 

[reefnfish]

Me and the wifey as well. We went last year and it was a good night out. I also spoke with George today, and they are really loading up for the party. Good thing, because I went in on Sunday and didn't see much livestock (for them!). Getting in shipments everyday until Friday.

I was there today and picked up some coral. They have shipments coming in all week. Party will be a blast. JC

I won't be able to make it Friday but would the offer extend to Thursday. I'm looking for about 50 pounds of rock.

Thanks

Jay I believe his normal price is 2.69 a lb with a 50lb minimum for ORCA members.

So if your going to get 50lbs, you would be fine with the normal price.

Otherwise for non orca members I believe he is at 2.99 a lb.

going to be fun!

 

[lusenut2]

I will be there, cant wait.

 

[jay24k]

Ok that sounds good. I'll hit him up when I get back from vacation. Cheapest I've found so far.

 

[AquaKnight]

Will most of the stuff (interested in fish mostly) be there Thurs. so we can preview them? Or are they keeping everything in the back with those sweet eBay rocks till Friday? Just curious to see what they have before I hightail it to FTL.

 

[nauti1us]

I'm guessing he'll be getting livestock in all week long... chances are they'll have most stock in by Thursday night... You could always call just to make sure.

 

[reefnfish]

Does anyone know if the orca discount will be applied to the already discounted items during the party?

It sounds like they'll be offering deep discounts and specials all night long. I wouldn't expect them to be offering ORCA discounts on top of already discounted prices... but hey, you never know.

They've been a strong supporter of ORCA all year long. They've contributed to SRC and other club events as many of our other great sponsors have also.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they're up to on Friday. Should be a blast.

 

[WingnutSr]

We will try to make it. Not sure when I will back into town on Friday.

 

[reefnfish]

Just a follow up for everyone, they are cutting the prices 25% on all livestock like Matt said, but can not offer the orca discount as well. It didn't hurt to ask!
