Shut down need to sell off everything

[bill]

Hi folks

Our landlord decide that we have to move out, due to saltwater damage all the metal, this is kind of good for me since I want to spend more time with my daughter.

Everything will need to go and everything is for sale except our 1000 gallons tank, all lives stocks must go first and then all the tanks

[Bigjohnwoody]

Wow that's crazy Tim. I too was highly impressed with your shop. Hopefully we will see you around here on the forums. I lost my purple monster I got from you too:(

[Emerald525]

Tim I'm very sorry to hear about this. You had one of the best shops in this area and you were always great to deal with. Beth and I will stop by and I'm sure we will see you at your Sushi place.

[mattv]

[bill]

I will be at the shop till 3pm everyday.

[bill]

[arredondojason]

[Derbird]

Very sorry to hear this, you are the only salt only store that I don't have to plan a day trip around. Both you and your wife have been extreamly helpful to me and I do appriciate that. I'll try to make it down today. (sad)

Same here, I thought it was an AWESOME shop, I wish I was closer to go there more often...He hosted one of the best BBQ's at his shop for one of the meetings, that was my first expereince, I remember winning a frag of Mohawk Zoas...Good Times


I want everyone to know that I still gonna stay with the forum.

That is great news! Someone with your experience and knowledge is so important to a hobby like this, glad you will be around still.

That was going to be my next question, I never got to see the 1000 system, I would push a portland trip to the top of my list of things to do just to see it.

[bill]

Store will be around for another month or untill every is gone.

[mattv]

Go see him. Plenty of great stuff and a huge thanks for the great deals today Tim!

[ghost207]

Thanks for the great deals Bill.

[Derbird]

Thank you for the great deal on my new lights and some zoa. I am really going to miss coming in to see you both.

[grassi]

Sorry to hear this Tim. Stay with us in the forum!

[Helenwheels]

Noooooooo! Tim, when people admire my tank I say it's thanks to you! I haven't been by much, no longer hang out on that side of town but I will be there tommorow or Saturday. I will also try to grab my friend Tom's credit card... Ths time I'll ship :-)
I am so very sorry to see you close. You were the one who guided me from one dead fish in a biocube to a thriving 60 gallon reef that stops people in their tracks.

See you soon, make me some awesome Deals so I can get as much of your beautiful stuff as I can before it is gone. I have a list :-)

Again, a sincere thanks for all you have done for me. Please thank Lilly for me also, and my sincere congratulations to you both.

Helen

Thank you for everything. It has been very nice doing business with you. You have always been courteous and helpful. Also, you gave me a very good deal on corals this morning.

Best of luck Tim. I always thought you went above and beyond for the hobby community and put some thought into your marketing. You will be successful in whatever comes next.

[nhoffee]

Thank you for the great deal tim. So sad to see you close. You where not my main shop. But I did like the fact that you are close to my school and loved going in every now and again.

[DennisW]

Wow! Made it out to Tim's today and I must say, in 13 years of reefing, I have NEVER seen the colors Tim has gotten on some of those acros, montis, etc in his tank. They are absolutely stunning! I'm glad that I was able to get a few frags of them and at a great price. Can't wait to come see your tank at your restaurant.

Do you have any secrets you could share on anything special you dose or do on that display tank to get the color out of these corals? I mean besides the shear volume of water and 400 watt lamps. I know you mentioned an elevated magnesium level but, how high do you run the magnesium?

Again, great shop and great guy, glad to meet you and good luck in all your future endeavors.

[ClayTheSavageFraser]

Thanks for the kind words, I usually keep fish with any corals since their waste is the best food source for corals, my mag, cal, and alk can be low or high depend how I want it, but make sure they does not swing at the same time I figure out how many different species of acropora I have in my tank depend on it size, for example in a 55 gallons I would keep anywhere from 5 to 10 different species, this way all of them will have good amount of nutrient, mag, cal and etc to share. I also now what lighting is best for my acros and knowing where to place them, for example I can place table acros such as Milles anywhere I want In the tank and torts(stags) no higher then mid tank.

[The Professor]

Lately I've tried to come into the shop around 6:30 a few times in the past couple weeks but you've been closed. I know you are shutting down but what are your hours now because I really want to take a look around.

[Cmoore]

Well this news kinda hurts:( I have been so busy lately i have not been making my usual weekly visit and just now got the news. Tim, I am really going to miss you and westside. It was great getting to know you and the shop over the past year and a half. I will be by this week. Best of luck to you in the future. Thanks for
taking such great care of me!

[pnkrcklives]

I have heard that feb 5 he will be moving everything out. I will be down there with him feb 4-5 to help remove tanks
and clean the shop.

[wopadobop]

this saddens me to no end. Tim sold me my first tank which i then had to move to northern california. He and Lilly were very supportive and helpful . I just recently got my tank set back up and cycled ready for fish. Hopped on here to see what was going on since i have not been able to get a hold of anyone at the shop in hopes of getting some things shipped( i always offer them my business before looking anywhere else). If anyone knows ricky personally would be great to hear from him as well.

[Kris]

What Ricky are you talking about?
