snowpunk Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I finally got to get up to this new shop. I was amazed at the great selection he has for being so new. He has a ton of nice live rock pieces that I am scoping out for later too. His big 300 gallon tank in front was really nice too. Pink tail trigger, blue throat trigger, a few purple tangs, some sail fins, an emperor angel, and a lot more too. He has lots of nice pockerstar frags that are just coloring up really nicely along with a bunch of other chalices and monti's too. I was thoroughly impressed with the shop. He may be new on the map but he is not new to reefing, thats for sure. Great shop for sure!!!(rock2) If you haven't been you should get over there and at least check it out and say hey.

spectra Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Well maybe I should have went there todayDOH! I went to a few shops for the first time in at least 3 months found a few things then decided to hit one more after the wife decided to shop a little longer. Well pulled up and saw they were closed even though it was there normal hours(flame) Sorry to say but it was the third time that that has happened so not going there anymore. When I can get out to Hillsboro will check them out as this is not the first time someone has recomended them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is somewhat near me and 3 people have told me personally that I need to go in there. I am really glad I did. I didn't buy much because I am gearing up for some big purchases but I can't say I wasn't tempted. Sat in there and talked with Tim the owner for a good hour I would think.

CA2OR Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 at least an hour....trust me I know.....I was waiting for him to come to my house afterwards.....Mr. "I'll be there in half an hour." I seriously think you wouldn't be disappointed if you did make it in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdadof2 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Tim and I have done a large number of trades and he is very fair and a heck of a nice guy. Great new shop and very healthy livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The wife and I were out to Tim's place today... What a great store! (clap) They had some unique corals and some good buys. The fish looked happy and healthy. (fish) This store might be a bit out of the way but if you don't go then you... are missing out. A definite must see on your next coral/fish excursion!(popcorn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
