Carlos@River City Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 RIVER CITY AQUATICS (512) 219-7200 4TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY SALE SATURDAY DECEMBER 15, FROM 10 AM TO 8 PM Dear Friends, We would like to invite you to the fourth annual Holiday Sale at River City Aquatics. The sale will be on Saturday December 15th from 10 AM to 8 PM. Every year the Holiday Sale is the largest event held at RCA, and if the sales from past years are any indication, this one should be a good one. Door prizes will be given out throughout the day, almost every half-hour. We will also have FREE Rudy’s Barbecue that will be served around 11:30am. In addition to the barbecue, we will have FREE drinks, snacks, and home baked Holiday cookies all day long. This year we have some amazing specials planned for the sale, starting with ALL LIVESTOCK 30% OFF! We will be flying out to LA on the week of the sale to hand pick all the Saltwater livestock for the sale. We have only made this trip a few times over the years, but every time we do, we bring back some of the coolest corals, inverts and fish we have ever seen. This year will be no exception. For all you freshwater folks we have some great orders due in as well including; German Discus, West African, Wild caught Tanganyikan cichlids, Florida’s finest farm African cichlids, and of course some great RCA Home Grown cichlids. During the sale we will have a RCA SPECIAL ADDITION 50 Gallon built specifically for us by Deep Sea Aquariums. These tanks are not available anywhere else and were constructed just for our sale. They are 36” x 18” x 18”, and would make great little Marine or Freshwater Tanks. During the sale they will be $119.99 each. After the sale they will return to their normal price of $199.99. In addition to the great livestock specials we also have some insane dry good specials including Fluval and Aquaclear filters at 40% OFF, Marineland 90 gallon REEF READY aquarium for only $199.99, Oceanic 14 gallon Biocube for only $99.99* and much, much more. This year EVERYTHING WILL BE DISCOUNTED during the sale, so check out www.rivercityaquatics.com for all the Super Specials and complete details on the sale. Remember that unlike our After Hours Sale, the Holiday Sale will be all day long. With that being said, we advise anyone wanting to cherry pick corals or fish or take advantage of the DOOR BUSTER SPECIALS, get here early and beat the crowds. We hope to see you all there, River City Staff Super Specials can be found at http://www.reefersdigest.net/rca-flyer.html ALL LIVESTOCK 30% OFF Hydor Koralia High flow Pumps 50% OFF **FIRST HOUR ONLY 10 – 11AM** Limit Two.

aeroaustin Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi Carlos, WHich the list of Wrasses should be nice to add my tank? I see several Wrasses on list, its Reef safe and have exist one wrasse, blenny, PJ cardinal and paired Ocellaris in tank. which one will be perfect choose for this?

Carlos@River City Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 I would look at the the six line wrasse or the four line wrasse. Both are "basically" reef safe and would do well in your tank. It looks like the coral folks are going to get here early, so for anyone looking to get first dibs on corals, I suggest you get here early because it will be first come first serve. We will have over 20 people working the sale, so we should get to everyone relatively quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsr Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I went in late thinking that I could get some good snails. I was wrong, everything was gone! So I walked away empty handed. So sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenM Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yeah, you mention 'sale' to this bunch and you get a stampede. Maybe they should see wristbands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I didn't get the yellow watchman I wanted so I decided to get a bunch of inexpensive fish to help fill my tank. I ended up with a royal gramma, six line wrasse, two spotted goby, yellow clown goby, and a firefish. So far the first three are doing great, but the firefish is still too early to call, and the yellow clown goby just plain disappeared.

4R00P3R Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I got a purple bubble coral (isn't looking too good), a galaxia, and a bucket of red sea pro salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos@River City Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Just wanted to thank everyone that came out and supported us during the sale. It was with out a doubt our busiest day ever! We had now idea we would have such a huge turn out. We just need to find somewhere to put another couple registers. Thanks again everyone. We couldn't do it with out you guys. Now we have to start getting ready for the Anniversary Sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4R00P3R Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Next time I will bring more cash and my checkbook so I don't have to wait a credit card line. By the way the bubble coral has expanded ten fold and is doing much better. I can't wait to see what it's like when fully inflated. Thanks for the great deals. I hope you stock up on more Koralia 4s next time. They were all gone in the first 5 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thank you Carlos! I am sure many of us would be far less successful without you and your shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I just feel bad for the poor soul that came in on Monday... I bet the shelves/tanks where empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsr Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Funny! I was in there today hoping that more stock had arrived. Not so. They still have some nice fish/corals, but the CUC was pretty much gone. Same as Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
