kchapmanjr Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I went there about a month ago and was pretty impressed with their saltwater selection, so much so that I bought an awesome fluorescent yellow wellsophyllia. But I shied away from buying any fish because their display tank had some big damsels in it that were actually fuzzy from having so much ich. It happens I guess. The place is super cool though! They have an amazing reptile selection too (even a green tree python, which I love but my girlfriend says if I even think about it I will be newly single). You guys gotta check out their "store pet" - it's a huge tortoise that just strolls around the whole place and let's you pet him on the head... Pretty cool. They also have some sweet freshwater planted tanks running as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbird Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I had no idea there was a salty place in Wilsonville. Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Looks like a nice place! The Setup is very very impressive.... the tanks are seriously nice...lighting is on the weak side(most their sps is browned), but lps and zoa options are nice from $10-$75. Their fishy side looked a little ichy, though they are copper free from what I was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Never heard of either, but I will definitely check it out...Mandinga maybe we can meet there some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish2 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Always good to hear about other stores with saltwater options! Now I have anther place to stop when I head to Portland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Good to hear they are back up and running. Last I heard the shop they previously had caught on fire in Newburg. Was always a cool shop to stop in and check out all the critters. I remember a large tortoise would walk around the store like a mascot. Cool home feel to the store.

Micah Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Used to live a couple blocks from the Newberg one (Pre-fire) and it was pretty decent at the time. They were the cheapest place around for Liverock. 3.75/lb or something insane like that. Even 10 years ago it was pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Reefstar needs to hit them up for some better lighting and I know there are a lot of zoa nuts out here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them there are a couple "local" companies who have waaaaaaay better LeD setups, they seemed interested:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
