We ask for your help in liquidating as much of our product and equipment as possible (Pretty Please). In return we will offer you great deals on the merchandise. If you are looking for deals this would be a great weekend.

We hope to see you this weekend as we move forward in our journey.

3 DAYS LEFT and these are the hours

Friday Nov 23rd 11 AM - 7:30 PM

Saturday Nov 24th 11 AM - 7:30 PM

Regards
Family at Sharkys Reef

We were there just before they opened and there were 5 cars waiting! There was some shady people in a Camery....

By the time noon rolled around, there had to be 30 people in the store.

Stopped in this afternoon and it looked quite a bit picked over already. The crosshatch trigger looks stunning for one of you who has the space. Couple of nice Potter's Angels, too. Fish are 40% off.

That Red Sea Max setup was calling my name... had to run away before irreparable damage was done to the checkbook balance.

I was there early Friday.
that was a mad house, found what I needed mostly inverts at a 40% off great deal. My kid was with me so he wanted a Starfish that was not in my plans but reef safe also 40% off.
Maybe a shopping trip to Gurnee Mills, then a scaping trip to Sharkys just to check what is left.

Crosshatch trigger pair were not for sale.

I had to ask.

So is that it for them? Did they sell everything off (Lumenarcs, tubs, equipment, etc?) or are they still trying to liquidate?

They're aren't getting rid of everything. People on Friday had asked about the blue tubs and lights, and they said they're holding on to them.

There were a lot of rumors from the CMAS group about a merge with Oceans Floor. They are not true. I have a feeling they will shrink it back down to a internet order only business. Just my guess.

I talked to Anita today and asked if they were going to keep the internet business open. Her response was "more than likely." That is good news. I got the pair of Potters angels BTW.

somewhere I read that are considering reopening in the Green Bay area. Don't know how true that is considering there are 5 other rumpors going around.

The last sraaw that closed down my store was when my landlord told me that the moisture from my fish tanks was causing the boards suporting the roof to rot and that he wanted me to replace the roof with a 6 digit figure qoute by a company he himself ownes. The this day 5 years later he still did not replace the roof.
