[Mohaynow]

Just got back from Garrett's place and if you are looking for sps, get your butt over there. He's got some nice colonies and always extremely fair prices.

I'll post pics of the one that I got later. Believe me it was hard to leave with just one, he wouldn't accept my magic beans for trade. (sad)

[NoobtoSalt]

WOW. I was going to say it looks like you got a few, till I read the small type after all the awesome pictures

[ReefSafari]

I can't wait to check it out, its going to be a LONG week...I have never been there, and Im excited to check it out!

[garrettm85]

Thanks for taking some pics are posting them up Josh! I appreciate it mang!


50 new SPS colonies just in and they are some of the nicest I have seen. These are Maricultured for the best colors, hardiness, and variety. Priceing will be very good and there will be so many choices available that you will wish you could upgrade your tank just to fit them all in it :)

Also just got the nicest pair of Hawaiian FLAME wrasses in! Price is unbelievable on the pair. Also got in some super great looking Hawaiian Potters Wrasses, Potter Angels, and Flame Angels as well as tiger tail cucumbers and a few other nice inverts and fish.

Come check the tanks out!!

[Drew]

dammit Garret your really making me want to make a drive up there.... one of these weekends!

[JasonH]

I was there - in fact, in one of those pictures you can see the empty spot where my new Acro used to sit (whistle). That's the nicest shipment of mari-cultures corals I've ever seen. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the other one (also in a picture above, but looks nicer in person - no offense to Josh picture taking).

The good news is that I think I snuck the whole lot (5 or 6 bags) in without the better, smarter, prettier (but less observant) half catching me (naughty).

Thanks, as always, Garrett. Great corals, prices, and service - hard to complain.

And nice to meet you, Josh.

Oh yeah, the flame wrasse pair was pretty. But I think the potter's angels take the cake.

[garrettm85]

Thanks a bunch for stopping by Jason! Always great having you by the shop and chatting reef. I am suprised you were able to sneak all of those critters past the wife lol. I get away with it all the time but I have alot of hiding places :)

I agree, the Potters Angels are exceptional! Thanks!

[Mohaynow]

yea my lowsy cell phone pics don't even begin to do these badboys justice.

[Mohaynow]

Heres the one that i got. Its got real potential.

Oh yeah, I remember that one. Evenything that looks whitish in the picture above is actually this kind of glowing tealish color. Very pretty.

I must re-visit this thread. I have to say this cause it needs to be said! Me and a friend had plans to head down today to pick up some stuff and my buddys wife got sick so he needed to stay home with her today. Well we had a bunch of stuff we wanted to get at the Premium A and as we couldnt make it down today I called and asked G if we could come down last night after I got off work as an emergency coral/fish run. LOL Garrett out of the kindness of his heart let us come down at 8PM last night to pick stuff up and do some shopping. :) As always, I was faced with insane prices, healthy livestock, and of course as much reef talk as I could handle. (Also, anyone who wants to check out an 8" Vlamingi just swing by lol). You continue to find ways to bring me back to the Salem area my friend! Cheers to you and the Premium aquarium!

(Also, anyone who wants to check out an 8" Vlamingi just swing by lol)

That a little guy! :) :) :)
I think I can beat that...... what do you think Garrett? :) :) :)

[garrettm85]

Thanks for the Patrick! It was a great night to come down late. The wife was at a wedding in P town so I had all evening to play in the shop!!

Michael,

Yours are literal monsters. I mean these guys are huge. Some of your fish must be 2" thick and I know at least one of them barks/crokes!

[MarkBirkett]

I seen your wife at a wedding last week. What up Garrett.

[impur]

I hit up Garretts on my way back from PDX sunday and as usual am glad i did! Got a couple of super healthy angels and of course the best clean up crew/prices around.

Thanks Garrett!

[garrettm85]

Hey Mark! She said she saw you there as well. You should stop by some time and check out the shop. A few things have changed since you were here last :)


Miles, you and the wife are great to talk to. Thanks for stopping by and grabbing a few critters. Those angels probably look pretty sweet in your tank!

[MarkBirkett]

I'm quitting for a while, and like any addiction it is best to stay away.

[impur]

Yes they WILL look sweet!! I've got them in a 10gal for treatment, then they'll go into my cube along with my clowns and wrasse all at the same time to avoid any territorial disputes. I am VERY excited to get them in there!

[johnnyrm33]

I've been to Garrett's shop 2 out of 3 days this week, and managed to snag some great livestock (an urchin, halloween hermit crab, 2 true clowns, some frags, and a killer anemone) for amazing prices. I'm glad I no longer have to drive all the way to Portland for such an outstanding selection. I'm pretty new to the hobby, and Garrett literally spend hours answering all my questions, and hours of me pointing to almost everything in the shop and asking "What's that?" He was extremely patient, and even more informative. It's always great to be able to talk to people that truly enjoy and have such a passion for what they do as Garrett does. I greatly enjoy going to his shop, and I look forward to many many more visits, and many many more purchases. Thank you so much for all your time, and the great animals.

[garrettm85]

John,

Thanks for the great feedback!! You are welcome anytime my friend. Ask all of the questions you can think of and spend as much time as you want starring at the tanks. Thanks for picking up some sweet critters and if you need anything don't hesitate to call, text, email, or pm me.

Thanks again!

[spye]

Yes I couldnt agree more with John. I went to garretts shop last night and asked him soo many questions. Very knowledgeable and will take the time to make sure you understand the answer to your question. Its very easy to tell Garrett loves what he does there all of his stuff is amazing and the prices, well you cant beat the prices. I look forward to many trips over there and lots more time just talking reef. was a great time and my wife and I learned tons. Anyways thanks again for everything and I will let you know how the drilling of my tank goes.

Cory and Charlotte

[garrettm85]

Cory, and Charlotte,

Thanks for swinging by and checking out the shop. Always great helping people get setup for a step into the addiction! I am sure you will enjoy having the tank drilled! So much better than dealing with a hang on the back overflow. Hit me up if I can help with anything or if you have any questions!

[rubberduck9]

I would have to agree with everyone else! There is a reason why I drive all the way out to Salem all the time! LOL The people who have taken time to answer my questions and offer the best prices have earned my constant business! That is why Tim and Garrett remain to receive the majority of my business! :) Cheer's to the both of you!

[garrettm85]

I think I can speak for Tim and myself when I say that we thank you, the customer and fellow reef friend for all of your support!! Reefing isn't always about just our personal tanks but also about our interactions with individuals with a passion for the hobby.

[Mohaynow]

Word to that
