I love floods:D . Nothing like walking in to lake Upscales some times. Your not the only one man.

I have talked with Tyree several times about the planning of this event. As far as vendors go he is hoping to lure Fraggfarmer and Atlantis up from Cali and have local shops bring their nicest frags to sell. It should draw people from all of Oregon and Washington plus Idaho as well. If it works I think it will be pretty cool. I went to a farmers market in Ontario last year. Alot of people. Alot of frags.

Damsels are egg layers. I have a pair of yellowtails that lay like once a month. Travis

I have one copy in stock. $45 with your discount. Travis

Looks more like a Pottery barn than a fish store.

Online retailers sell product at a 20% margin which is great if you are selling $500,000 worth of product a month, but when the average fish store does $25-$35,000 per month it just doesn't add up. That would be like $5,000 a month profit, my payroll is more than that. If you buy a filter sock for $4 and sell it for $5 whats the point? You made a buck. Tough to pay the bills on that. At some point you have to make money and trying to compete with online will never work IMO. LA stores are nothing to exiting from what I have seen also. Travis

If demand went down I don't believe many shop would be able to lower prices, things are priced at what they are in order to keep the doors open, I beleive that most shop would go out of business if they were forced to drop prices. So ask yourself would you rather have prices the way they are or have no local fish stores. I think the Porland market is spoiled in a way, I don't think most realize how good they have it with all the great shops around. I have people come down from Seattle every week to buy stuff every week. Why? because they don't have shops up there like we have here, also everyone that does come in from out of state says the Porland prices are WAY cheaper than other areas. So I say be glad you have a bunch of great places to shop and quit your bellyachin':D Travis Upscales

Pretty much all milli's. One blue, three or four pink. Some blue digitata, and a few others. Nothing to exciting. More Friday and Tuesday. Travis

The live brine experiment didn't go so well. I only sold a few portions so I don't think I am going to bring them in again. Travis

We are open on new years day from 10-5. Print off a copy of this post and get 20% off your entire purchase. Good for the rest of the day Sunday and all day Monday. Happy new year! Travis Upscales

I sold the last of my micro's last week. Hopefully I will track some more down in the next couple of weeks. Travis

We will be open on the 24th from 10-1 for any last minute shopping, also we will be open on new years day from 10-5. Have a merry christmas;) Travis

We will be getting live brine in tomorrow. I am going to try carrying it for a while and see if there is a demand. It will be about $3 a portion. Should be in after 3:00. Travis

The purple carpet is about a six inch diameter and is $150, The red is HUGE, at least twelve inch diameter and is $450. My red carpet in my 300 has not moved in two years. They tend to attach to the bottom of the tank through the sand. Mine has eaten a couple fish in two years but has not bothered anything else. Travis

Every red I have ever seen has been a haddoni, I will have to see on the blue when it gets here probably haddoni hopefully gigantae:D

We will be getting a red carpet anemone in on Friday. A blue is coming also.

Print off a copy of this post! Good for 20% off you entire purchase (fish, corals, frags, lighting......) Good on Friday the 24th only. We will be open from 10-7. We are stocked with tons of great stuff. Happy Thanksgiving! Travis Upscales

Don't buy the PCI one unless you want a BIG headache. I do have the PM 6" diameter in stock, you might call the shop and have Tom measure the footprint. This reactor would work up to 500g. Travis
