Idaho-Tank Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hello - My son is playing in a hockey tournament in Portland this weekend. Hoping to take home a few nice frags. Can anyone recommend a great FS in the area with good selection/quality & good prices? Thanks! PS. If anyone would be interested in selling or trading I posted a thread in the classifieds too as I would be happy to trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 First off welcome!! Secondly I would suggest you take a look at our sponsor forums and get the address' and phone numbers from there so you have them. Since you said corals................ I would say Westside, Upscales, Ocean in a Box, Rose City, and Coral Mafia- but please look into all of them and hit as many as you possibly can with your free time! PS- Are you coming back this way next summer for SEA-MAX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I posted a reply in your classifieds thread. If we can work a deal then I'm not too far from Ocean In a Box which is a must see if your looking for nice looking corals and are in the area. In addition to those mentioned Woody down at Seahorse also usually has a few hidden gems in his cheap frags if you know what to look for.

Idaho-Tank Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 ^ Thanks guys.. Will try to visit a couple of your recommendations! I assume "SEA-MAX" is a reef fest in the Portland area? I recently attended one in Salt Lake City (one of the benefits to spending thousands on travel hockey for my kids - I get to see lots of great stores/coral etc.. lol). Anyway, I will have to look at trying to make that trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I highly recommend Nick's RoseCity, it's our favorite store by far, and you have to check out SEA Max, we're finally getting one of the big reef-keeping conventions, similar to MACNA, in the PacNW, if you're a member of a club there in the Idaho area, please pass the word, there's a thread here about it, plus a big one over on I think it's reeffrontiers.
