Sorry to get the email from Donny today about 5th Day Creations closing their retail store. Donny and Joy are very nice folks. Good luck to them in their future plans.
 
Wow dang that stinks. It's just a tough economy now and I am sure this was the main contribution. I usually get emails but I didnt get one. Can you copy and paste it here?
 
He's not going to try the warehouse thing that he was talking about? I think that would be hard to do with mail order, etc.
 
Im sure donny wont mind me posting this, and david if you dont want it on the forrums please remove it. Here is his email for those who didnt get it.

Greetings! Hope everybody is having a most excellent 2010 already. What a great year for new things and changes.

Well, a lot of you have been with us since we opened our doors several years ago to serve the saltwater hobby community. As I'm sure you are acutely aware, the poor economy has been affecting each once of us, from those that have lost their jobs to other businesses that have closed their doors. We, unfortunately, have not been excluded from this downturn. We have pushed through since December of 2008 to keep our doors open for all of you we have come to know, but alas, we are not able to keep sustaining the overhead of our business from our personal finances. So, as much as we do not want to, we are going to be closing the retail portion of our business by the end of February this year. We will still be around though, doing maintenances, growing out awesome coral, and selling top quality dry goods....just from a different venue. Our goal is to make a major move to get 5th Day Creations up and rolling and then start posting our products for you to see and purchase from that site. This will take some time, as I'm sure you can imagine, so just keep checking back to the site. Time frame: our last weekend we will be open will be February 19th and 20th.

In the mean time, first things first. So what does all this mean for you? Big sales!!!! Liquidation!!! This weekend:

ALL Live Rock $6/pound
ALL live goods 40% off
Dry Goods start at 30% off!

Need Tanks? We are preselling our breeder tanks that are now in use in our store. Pre-purchase yours now!

40gal breeder with/without dividers $60
30gal breeder with dividers $50
4'x4' 150gal view down tanks $750 (3 available)
Solana's (currently set up) Tank/Stand/Light $400

We have more tanks and TONS of used equipment for sale as well, skimmers, filtration, sumps, etc. All will be price as marked. All sales will be final.

COME SEE US AND GET YOUR GOODS WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!!!!!!
 
I think he's moving what of the store he can into his house and just propagating corals and sell online. I don't know this for sure but i think this it what hes going to do...
 
well this is perfect timing for me. I just decided to start up another and i was gonna hit them up. maybe the discounts will help me get it the way I want it?
 
I stopped by Petcare Warehouse yesterday to pick up a grow lamp. They have 5th day's tanks now, and are setting up a much more concise fish set up.
 
me and my brother help move every thing out its all gone now and pet care is getin his frag tanks and the fish system from the store
