  1. Free sumps. Limit 1 per household
  2. Hi everyone, still thinking about some kind of an event. Any suggestions for conversation topics? Phil
  3. @howaboutme we did get in an order of 500 of them and if you check out our social media sites there is a post that went up about the sale on them. Look for the crabby babies photo...
  4. If you haven't made it up here yet then definitely visit us here at Reef eScape. Our fish and corals are all quarantined so that we can offer the healthiest animals possible. This might mean that you'll have to make a second trip up North if you hit us during an active quarantine as we don't send fish out of the shop that are still being treated but it's a no risk quarantine for those that put down a deposit on an animal as we assume all of the risk. If you happen to be headed up here this weekend we're hosting a BBQ on Saturday along with some great sales!
  5. Hey Everyone, just wanted to let you know that we're having a BBQ on Saturday to celebrate Independence Day Weekend! It's a BYOD and C (Bring Your Own Drink and Chair) event and we'll be grilling for lunch. Of course, what would a cookout be without some great sales to go along with it? Still fun but not nearly as much! If you want to check out the sales you'll need to go to our Facebook or Instagram pages as we're announcing sales twice per day! https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZO-0LM8o1/ https://www.facebook.com/ReefeScape/posts/pfbid034oFHaSoLDRA4RNhQ1NfpsqSZFfzQDDGgyfUyn1fd3jcWeLhpq97N9gp1hk73pJY7l
  6. Hey Guys, it's been a long time since we've posted here but thought we'd share our current coral sale as we have tons of quarantined corals ready to go home with you! These range from softies to LPS to SPS with sizes from smaller frags all the way up through larger colonies. Right now through this Sunday, May 15, we are running a coral escalator sale where the first coral is regular price, 2 corals are 5% off, 3 corals are 10% off, and it increases up through 7+ corals at 30% off. It doesn't matter whether you purchase different grades of coral, the sale is good for whatever you want. We also got in a large shipment of fish yesterday that will be starting quarantine after we get them acclimated so now's the time to come in to check out what we've got and put down a deposit on the fish you want! As always, when you buy your fish from Reef eScape you can expect the highest quality and health from what you purchase. Our quarantine deposit is a no risk situation for you as your deposit holds the fish but if it doesn't make it through quarantine in great condition you have the option of getting a refund, transferring your deposit, or using it on something else! Keep an eye out on Social Media as well - last weekend we ran a couple of flash sales on Saturday ($5 off a single LPS and $5 off of all cleaner and fire shrimp) so who knows what might be in store for this weekend!
  7. Interested in a career in the retail and service side of the hobby? We are hiring! Reef eScape is looking to add someone who can work in our retail store and also do some service on tanks throughout Northern Virginia, DC, and Baltimore.

  8. We've got some great prizes for our Winter Holiday Raffle coming up! For every in-store shopping visit you automatically get a single entry into the raffle and the more you spend, the more tickets you get! In addition, just for our WAMAS friends, we know you’re missing your Meeting Raffles so bring receipts from other WAMAS Sponsors dated from September through November of 2020 and we’ll give you an additional ticket for every $50 you spent – that’s right, we’ll give you raffle tickets just for supporting WAMAS Sponsors and you’ll get to enjoy Receipts for Raffles even without a meeting! Check out our link below for details - come see us soon! Reef eScape Winter Holiday Raffle and Clamstravaganza!
  9. We've changed our hours to expand the time that we're open to suit Phase 3 changes to the area - we're now open Weekdays from 12-7 and Weekends from 10-6 during which time we'll be offering the safest way to shop through our Curb Side Carryout. Our water is still available as self-serve with the first 5 gallons of RODI free and everything after that at $1 per gallon in the drop box or by calling into the shop to pay via credit card (saltwater is $1 per gallon, no freebies for this!). We are also now open for In Store Shopping by appointment. Visit our NEW website to get more details and to schedule your visit today! We're also working on getting our entire catalog online so that you can always see what we've got in stock before you make the trip out to see us and will be featuring delivery within a certain area so that you can shop from the comfort of your own home and have it delivered to your door! Visit us on the web to find out more! See the New Reef eScape Website!
  10. I apologize for the confusion with our current hours. The site right now is not correct and we are currently working on a brand new site that will be up to date. However our google listed hours are correct, we are open 11am-5pm for curbside pickup every day. In the previous post there may have been some confusion when we said we would open again on Saturday. In that post we meant that we were closed for ALL retail for those few days and then reopened for curbside that Saturday. We do have a plan in the works for reopening and will post about it as soon as we have worked everything out. If you ever have questions about our hours on a given day you can give us a call. We have been very cautious because we primarily service aquariums in people's homes and do not want to expose our at risk clients. Some of our staff and families are also in at risk categories. We are still here for our retail customers, we just need to be a little creative.
  11. Hey Guys, just a heads up, we will be closed for retail curbside carryout for the next 3 days (May 27, 28, and 29, Wednesday through Friday) but will reopen for our normal hours on Saturday. While we are closed RODI will still be available and if you call ahead we might have someone in the shop to turn the saltwater on for you. If you have any emergencies you are welcome to call the shop at 703-261-6996 as there might be someone here that can help you out but please do not just show up as there might not be anyone here.
  12. Ha ha, not that type of escalator! Our coral escalator sale is back - all corals start at 5% off and you can get up to 40% off your entire purchase by adding more - doesn't matter what kind, you could buy 7 of our cheapest corals and then one from our highest end section and they would all be 40% off! Look for our Utter Chaos zoanthids bonus coming soon, too!
  13. Hey Guys, as you know we were one of the first shops in the area (not just aquarium stores, but for all retail stores) to shut our doors to walk in customers and this has resulted in early efforts to continue to bring you the supplies and animals that you need. We now have revised hours 7 days a week and are available at the shop for you to call ahead and have us place your purchases outside the shop for convenient pick up from 11AM-5PM daily. Don't worry, this doesn't mean that your stuff is on a rack with everyone else's purchases, we wait until you arrive and then place it outside when you let us know you're there. For fish and livestock we wait until you arrive or at least until you tell us you are on your way to bag them up to take the best care of you and your purchases. If you are curious as to what we have in stock, our entire dry goods selection is available when you do a Google Search for Reef eScape - it'll have a window on the Google search page with some "popular items" (aka things that have been purchased and scanned recently) but it will also let you search for a specific item along with the price for it. We are also now on eBay for select purchases and even offer local delivery! On top of this, we also have a FaceBook store now open with select merchandise being featured there and are adding to that each day. Check out these links for more information on what we've got and your options for purchasing whatever you need! Reef eScape FaceBook Shop Reef eScape eBay Shop Reef eScape Google Store We're working on getting our fish up on eBay as well but if you ever want to see a fish or find out what we've got in stock don't hesitate to call and ask - we can also Face Time with you or send you photos of animals upon request. Don't forget that we also now have self-serve RO/DI Saltwater available during business hours for $1 per gallon as well as up to 5 gallons of free RO/DI available 24/7 (you may take more but we ask that you pay $1 per gallon for anything more than 5 gallons each 24 hour period as we've struggled to keep up with demand so are trying to make sure that we can help everyone out). This is all self-serve honor system and we ask that you place the cash in the drop box after your purchase. If you don't have the cash, go ahead and give us a call and we can take your payment over the phone. We also have some spray and hand sanitizer at the desk outside so you can sterilize your hands or the water supply handles before and after you use them. Stay safe!
  14. Thanks Hilary, we're trying our best. Like everyone else, these are times that we need to reflect on what's important and what's not. Actually just posed a question to the moderation team and we know you get those so let us know what you think.
