tanktop74 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow, this is very cool!!! I can't wait for it to open!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 OH THIS IS SO COOL (clap) I used to live four blocks from there. It was a big restaurant but I didn't think it was that big I wonder if we could do a PNWMAS day at the aquarium? Especially since there is a LFS in Milwaukie now. All the cool stuff comes when I move out fo the boonies DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That would be very cool. Seems pretty close to completion without hearing a word about it, which seems a bit odd. Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkreefer Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Stew and I got the tour of the place a while back before they went public, you know coldwater marine aquatics will be stocking it up with all the Pacific coast has to offer!

beardedsmurf Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Will you get any signage or free plugs for your business at the OA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregonaquarium Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Thanks Stew and Cold water marine for all the cool animals so far and the help that have been to us in Portland. We have just started construction on this facility really the first tanks and quarantine are going in now, but we don't have permits so cant really start on much more. It will take some time to build hoping around December. We would love volunteers that are interested in helping to come help us. IT takes a lot to build a public aquarium as you all know with the tanks you already take care of. Behind the scenes tours for free for all you guys would be just fine, right now there is nothing We are looking for people to hire and would prefer to get to know employees before we actually hire them. Volunteer work is the best way to do that for all of those interested. I can not promise that you will all be hired or any for that matter, but I can promise you will have fun and you might learn a little as well. We are always available for discussions but prefer to talk over facebook, like us there. Thanks Ammon Covino 208.353.8409 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkreefer Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nice to see you on the board ammon! To all those who have yet to meet Ammon and his brother they are great people and the new facility is going to be stellar! Stew and I are working on some wolf eels for there Idaho location so if any one wants to see a big ol' eel before we ship them off let us know they should be in are holding system in the next week or so.

LC Scott Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm sure I could find away to volunteer a few hours once or twice a month.( I know how to swing a hammer without hitting my thumb too often.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 This is awesome. The best way to communicate with the owner is through facebook. By the way, season passes are being offered at half price and they are very reasonable.
