Michael7979 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Save the gas and have Jody from TEC hook you up. He is in Medford and has a website but no store front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadReefer Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I like Aqua Serene 2836 W 11th Ave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Welcome to the site. I agree with Michael. Contact Jody at TEC. He has a lot of good feedback, and some awesome coral. Next time you are in Portland, let us all know and we will help you around the fish stores in our town. There are at least 7 or 8 to choose from (but I may be forgetting some). dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Bring a cooler if you're buying stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 i live in eugene and like aquaserene when it comes to local, but i agree with many others. go to totallyexoticcorals.com, and see what they have. they probably have more that isn't on the site too. that is much better than anything you will find in eugene at the moment.

R-3 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I would check Jody out first like everyone else is recommending. If you do come up north though I would hitup Upscales, Seahorse, Soutas and Rose City. Those are the stores I like to frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 if you head that far north, dont forget waves. that is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefer Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 sounds good. jody was the one that helped start me off so many years ago. i crossed paths with him in a lfs he was helping out. great help and knowledge then!! i will have to look him up. of course we all like to go to as many stores as possible to broaden our horizons!! will touch base when i do go up for assistance! thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefaquarist Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 liquid sunshine in Eugene can be good and pet time.no matter what people will say sometimes they have high end stuff for a good price. you just have to catch them when they get a fresh shipment. just don't let the guy at pet time talk you into an alligator goldfish pond and some dog food. he is quite persistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 lol. But the alligator is friends with the goldfish. Give you good price; if you come back later, price is doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If your going to do it you need to go almost to the border to do it right lol leave around 5am and hit every store you can its great fun I recommend Upscale's, Wave's,Seahorse,Souta's,Rose City Aquarium, Coral Reef Pet Center and theres more I havnt hit yet but if you want you can look me up I may have somthing you might like, and who is this by the way lol(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 SEAHORSE! The word for today is S-E-A-H-O-R-S-E. Then WAVES, Upscale. Another one you might wanna check out is Rose City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Eric, so you finally made it to SeaHorse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 yeah....took long enough. Wonder how long till I get back. I found things I want but whether or not they will be there when I go back is the question. I am planning on picking up the meteor shower.

Michael7979 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 My advice bring a cooler to hold your bounty and find yourself a hotel to stay the night. Make it a two day trip over the weekend. Probably can't hit all of them in one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 sure you can you just dont get home untill midnight lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 sure you can you just dont get home untill midnight lol It would be later than that(laugh) Most stores do not open till 11 and it takes at least 45 mins to oogle at everything:D plus drive time shoot it will be an all nighterDOH! I got tired of the Medford drive when we were working on the VA. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thats cuz your a wussy but you got to see my pretty face(naughty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Forget the cooler. Bring along a 10g with a powerhead and heater. That way the corals get circulation overnight. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thats cuz your a wussy but you got to see my pretty face(naughty) Yeah aint that the truth(whistle) Actually got tired of getting up at 3 am to get there so I could work 8 to 10 hours then get a hotel room. Also got tired of the long ride in a flatbed with a crappy seat(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You might as well just bring several 40g rubbermaid brutes... I mean it! Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
