The ReefBox Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Please read the attachment for information. This is not by choice and has left me at a loss for words. Thank you to all that have supported me, helped put me on the map and gave me the opportunity to provide you with quality fish and corals. I know the question will come up, “Are you gonna move”. The short answer is no, not right now. I frankly can not afford to set up again. Anyone who has started a business understands this!!! My goal is to rebuild the funds and as I get closer to retirement....start up again. I know many will ask, “what about the livestock”. It has all been sold in a package deal. I will be selling off most of the equipment as I do not want to store it. I will let everyone know what’s available after I take it all down thanks again, it’s been a fun ride! brian 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Tavan Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 So sorry to hear that. I had so much fun visiting the shop and I’ve gotten some great livestock from you. I hope you’ll be back soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldoz Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hope to see the shop back up in the near future. My kids loved coming to the shop. Thanks for the help with getting our tank started though.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 So sorry to hear this Brian - I know you put a lot of effort and thought into this enterprise so it really sucks to see the rug pulled out from under it. Hope you make it back some day in a more amenable situation. Good luck man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 This really sucks Brian. I know how hard you worked to get it up and running. I didn’t even have a chance to see it. Sorry your dream keeps getting derailed but I know you will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorW Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Oh my gosh I am so sorry [emoji22] it's a terrible situation no matter what but at least you were able to find a buyer to buy all of your livestock at once, trying to sell off everything that quickly a few at a time would have been an absolute nightmare. All the best to youSent from my moto g(7) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 This makes me sad, I was so excited to have a shop over here again!

Knuckledragger Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I am so sad for you. I saw how hard you worked and how the store got better every time I came in. It was nice to talk shop and reef. I wish you all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thanks everyone for your support. I feel like I was just getting traction and then the rug gets pulled out from under my feet. Just makes me want to do better next time! I’m not sure when or where but can tell you with certainty it will be in Vancouver. I will be selling off all the remaking equipment soon. I will make a for sale thread on social media! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailermann Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Ditto to all the above. I finally got the opportunity to drop in, but I had not seen this post. In a couple of months/years when you reopen, I will not dally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
