hey everyone, jake is going to issue numbers for this sale to help with crowd control. Numbers will be handed out starting at 9:00am Saturday morning. First person in line gets the first number and will get first dibs with the livestock. Second person gets second number and so on. All customers will be allowed into the fishroom, but you will only be helped once your number is called. To make this work, we will not be able to hold any livestock. Every item is first come, first served. Jake will have over 15 people working the fishroom so that means we will be able to serve 15 numbers at a time. The numbers are for the fishroom only, everyone is welcome to shop the drygoods, visit with the vendors and take advantage of all the free food and drinks while you are waiting for your number to get called.

you guys are crazy looking forward to seeing you all on saturday.

Hey everyone, Just got done walking thru the store and all I can say is WOW. The ricordias look amazing, but I would definately get here early for the rics because they will go fast. 4 rics (some with more than one mouth) for only $39.99!!!! Also for everyone with kids, Jake and his wife have a ton of fun activities for the kids including face painting, rub off tatoos and balloons. Don't forget that we they will have free food including hamburgers and hotdogs all day long. Hope to see you all there, but if I dont, have a great and safe holidays.

ya, they seem to be down again. a message went up about an hour ago saying they should be back up sometime this afternoon.

Your new tank is here.

sweet!! just added it to my phone. can you teach me how to do that with our logo / website?

The tank pictured in Justin’s link is DSA's new Neo Nano Waterfall system. We have an extra one here at the store that I think we will be setting up this weekend. I saw one running at the manufacturer a few months ago and they are very cool.

For starfire tanks we use DSA http://www.deepseaaquatics.net/ and AGE http://www.acrylicandglassexhibits.com/ Both do amazing work although AGE seems to have the edge when it comes to custom work and the PVC bottoms.

tank is gone.

As of 6:00 pm Saturday night it is still here.

We have a used 135 gallon Oceanic that one of our customers dropped of last night that we have no room for. FIRST ONE TO PICK IT UP CAN HAVE IT FOR FREE. The tank is 72" x 18" x 24" and was reef ready, but they cut the overflow boxes out and sealed up the holes. The customer said it does hold water, but we never tested it. Again it's FIRST COME FIRST SERVED. Sorry we can not hold it for anyone. Please don't call and ask us to hold it. Once some one has physically picked up the tank we will update this thread.

just make sure that each bulb has its own reflector and not just one big reflector for the whole unit. The reflectors is what makes the t5 work so well. With it only being 9" wide, i cant see how they could fit 8 individual reflectors and 8 bulbs. We have a 48" tek light with 8 bulbs and 8 reflectors and its almost 20" wide. Just something you might want to look into.

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!

got in about 30 more tonight. i'm sure the nanos and the 4's will go quick, but we should have plenty to last of the others.

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.

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.

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.

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.
