Sea in the city sold

[Blooh]

Sold as of today to new owners. I hope they keep up the high standards of live stock there.

[jay24k]

I'm sure waterkeeper will let us know. Hopefully she stays there. She was always really nice.

[taketz]

Well thats a bummer, but I can't say I didn't see it coming.

I was down there in October and visited that store. He was friendly and it was a nice little store.

I'm amazed how many stores down there have SPS, it's harder to find up here.

[WaterKeeper]

You mean Florida has a WaterKeeper too. :D

[stellablu]

I think you mean Waterfaller1 heheh

Marcye and Tom Sweeney

[kenny77]

Marcye bought Sea in the city. jejejje i new she really was into reefkeeping but damn!!!

well i just hope they keep the good work and quality. since that the only store i go :D
waterfaller1 is still working there right? she was the coolest one there

[jay24k]

Whose MArcye?

[orb]

they seem like nice people, i met them when they were changing the locks. i was like "OH NOOOOO there goes the neighborhood" hope they keep up the high standards that were set by Doug. i too do all my business there.

[TigerWoods]

I only went to Sea in the City 3 times. I only made it inside one time. The other times were during business hours but no one was there. It would be nice if someone was there next time.

[cschweitzer]

They have the most beautiful ric shrooms in Orlando. A little pricey, but amazing color and quality. Hope they keep the quality and lower the price. I do love that store, though. Waterfaller1 better still be working there. She is so involved in RC that it would be a shame for them to lose her. Even though she did not do it directly or intentionally on RC, she has swayed many a people to shop there(including myself, and I thank her wholeheartedly).

[Lutefisk]

Anyone know what Doug is going to be doing?

He is a great guy and has been a big part of the Central Florida reef-scene for years.

[MORAY]

Doug got a job with Living Color in S Florida several months ago.

[Me No Nemo]

Hi all...SITC won't be changing much in the near future...Doug did a great job building it up! Waterfaller1 will be staying on at least for a while and we'll see how things fit into her new job schedule. Hope to see you all soon!

[waterfaller1]

Hi everyone:) Thank you for saying such nice things!:cool: I will still be at SITC on saturdays.We will be open Tues-Fri 12-7..and sat 12-5.We have a new e-mail address :
seainthecity@bellsouth.net
the ph# is still the same.;)
I declined the new restaurant job in Oviedo.
Marcye and Tom are very nice people...you will like them.
Doug and Britt will be missed...I wish them well!:)

[AJ69]

Well Carole,I'm glad you're staying your knowledge and passion are incredible;) Good luck to the new owner and keep the quality :D

[skirrby]

well i too sure hope the quality holds up... it was the only store i did buisness with cause it was so close to my house and the good were so good.. i also hope the prices stay resonable.. i will miss doug though.. he tought me alot when i was first starting out. always liked how he would let me just come and sit in there and soak up info for hours and not kick me out lol. ill definatly come and check out the store still though.

[taketz]

If I can give some advice to the new owners; I loved Sea in the City for a few reasons.

1) The Corals are great. He always offered smaller frags that other stores don't seem to carry.

2) Good advice.

3) Probably the most important is this: I have NEVER seen a fish there that had Ich or bought a fish there that ever ended up showing any signs of Ich. In fact, its the only store I started buying fish from simply b/c I was afraid of getting ich. Anything that you can do to keep this up will make the switch-up A++.

[Me No Nemo]

Well, Doug did a great job and I plan to follow his game plan. SITC was my favorite store also and that's why I bought it! The only plans I have at this point is to expand the product line and livestock selections. Marcye

[jay24k]

Sweet. Will you be open Saturday?

Might be planning a trip down to orlando to hit all the stores.

[teach]

Thanks Marcye for the great deals on frags this weekend. I travel all the way from Jacksonville for this store. I'm sure that you'll keep it in great shape. Audrey

[Me No Nemo]

It was great meeting you this weekend. Please let me know how those sps do, especially that green one. I'm anxious to see what that does as it grows. Hope to see you at the O.R.C.A. conference in July as it should be a great event. Marcye

[skirrby]

marcye it was nice meeting you on sat, i stoped by with my girlfriend to check things out and chat with carole. you looked like you had things well in order. SITC was my fav lfs,, i always liked the decent prices, and very high quality of fish and corals, and if you keep it up to the normal standards, i can assure you will see me coming back time and time again. are you going to take frags from people for credit at all? what are some of you future plans for SITC? also, are you going to do the credit for O.R.C.A members like doug did?

[teach]

I am planning on coming to the O.R.C.A. conference. Ive even considered traveling down for monthly meetings. I looks like a great club.

[Me No Nemo]

Hey SKirrby...I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to type here as there are many rules RC has and I certainly don't want to break those. I will continue to be a sponsor of ORCA, it's a great club and I have a blast at the frag auctions (just wait 'til next time Nathan...:) I will continue the member discount, the same as Doug had. As I do want to expand my SPS, mushroom and Ricordia selections with some more unique items, stop by or PM me with what you have and we'll see what we can work out. Everything I bring in to SITC will be quarantined and observed before adding to the store tanks...just as a precaution and for everyone's piece of mind, so I will be limited by what my separate frag tanks can hold. It was great meeting you this weekend and I hope you'll be back often. Thanks! Marcye

[Me No Nemo]

Audrey, I think you'll love the meetings. (Jason, you better get yourself back here for the auctions...they just won't be the same without you:) I know you will be very welcome. The President, George and JoAnne, the brains of the operation;) are really great and I know you will be very welcome. The meetings have incredible presentations as well. As far as the conference, I think it's going to be fantastic... there's alot of serious planning going into it. I would sign up ASAP though because I know they are cutting off at a certain number of participants. Keep in touch if you need anything. Marcye

[teach]

Thanks for the headsup on the conference. It wouldn't have crossed my mind that it would fill up.
The sps look ok so far.

[MORAY]

Teach,

We had 150 people attend in July 03 when Anthony Calfo spoke and our capacity isn't much higher for this one. I worked on the Calfo event and I'm on the committee for this event. We have several more people working on this and we are wayyyyyyy more organized this time with quite a bit of manpower going in to marketing. These factors along with the club being so much better known here's no doubt in my mind we will sell out.

So, my point is if you want to insure a seat definitely get your ticket in advance. In case you aren't able to make it to one of our meetings you can find more info, register and pay online at

[anative]

This event will definitely sell out. We just had 5000 flyers printed that are being sent out all over the Southeast.

Jon

[teach]

I just purchased my tickets. Thanks for all of the input.

[MORAY]

Look forward to meeting you there.

[TigerWoods]

Hi Marcye and Carole!

Well I made it to Sea In the City and I was not disappointed. They have a great selection of corals and the service was excellent. I couldn't leave empty handed. It was great to meet you all.

CYA SOON

Did he come into the store or did you see him somewhere else?

If he was in the store, what did he buy?

[cschweitzer]

The guy named tigerwoods on this site, or the real tigerwoods?

[TigerWoods]

JUST ME! Not the real Tiger hehehe.

[cristhiam]

Hey guys, how do I get to this place! sound good.

[YodaHart]

Here's a copy of the website:
http://www.seainthecity.net/

I'm not sure if the new owners are taking care of that, too. But all the store info is still valid.

[Me No Nemo]

Thanks Yodahart:) Tiger, it was great meeting you and everyone else that stopped in this week. Come hang out whenever:) Marcye
