Gill Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Did anybody else see this http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/for/2840450815.html If you haven't been to Hollywood this is a great excuse to check it out. They have a 400 gallon shark tank that is unlike anything I have seen at other shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I saw the ad. I have to work unfortunately. I wonder how much is actually going to be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I saw the ad. I have to work unfortunately. I wonder how much is actually going to be there? I missed the last sale, but Dr. Bennit showed me some of the stuff that had been in the sale; it was a lot of chemicals and tanks. He had a ton of freshwater stuff on sale as well. I'm most excited about the salt and frozen food. I think I'm going to have to stock up on calcium strontium and iodine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInside Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Do they have fish/corals and what not too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wish I knew what they had before I drive all the way down there. The salt alone is probably worth the drive, plus upscales is right there too. If you do make the trip make sure to check out the shark, it's like a puppy.

Jeramy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I just got back that was a great deal on the salt. The selection of fish and corals was a little lacking when compared to upscales or premium aquariums. But I guess we are just spoiled in that regaurd. They did have one of the biggest selections of tanks I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in there he wouldn't hardly sell anything, saying it was reserved for his cleaning and maintenance accounts. Super nice guy, just wish he would decide if he was going to be a retail store or just focus on commercial clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he used to be big in the retail when his shop was downtown (Hollywood distinct). He actually has a really long and interesting history in the hobby; he has told me storys about breeding nurse sharks and working with sea turtles!!!

They don't have a lot of exotic fish, but they keep all fish for two weeks before they sell them. Like someone else said they are geared more towards maintance so they have only sell the hardier stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illcssd Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Next time I'm in I will have to show him this thread and mention sponsorship to him. (whistle) He was a sponsor in the past,but since quitting retail decided there wasn't a lot for him here. The majority of us take care of our own tanks and are not in need of maintenance.
