Tom Barr is in California so its not him. He does freshwater mostly and is a great guy he sells via his website barrreport.com its a great resource for aquarium people a little bit of marine stuff but mostly freshwater fish topics but if you are not into collecting your own wood and I really suggest hitting up a resivoir now as the water levels are lowering and there will be tons of great pieces for only the price of gas and its good to pick what you want and have some extra for just in case. Go play at the water side while its still nice :-)

Ahh stay away from mine for awhile lol. I will tour but mines off limits till I upgrade it in the next month or so. It is only half the size im doing and i need to play with the tank to get a hang of sps.

Im a stones throw away on 31st and Geary. Everyone has been great :-)

I think with the posts I have above will be plenty to get a few starters for a bit :-) thank you all.

I in Albany

Ignore this post lol

Oops posted that on accident pmd :-)

Sorry I meant Albany/Corvallis not salem a bit far for a weed lol I know it is an invasive weed but i still love the stuff and even the added work of keeping it removed was worth my time. If anyone has some in the albany corvallis area that they will be cleaning out i would take some off your hands before you toss it in the can. Thank you for looking

I have just cycled my 55 with 100 lbs of true live rock (air freight not boat rock) and that pretty much killed my wallet but i just couldnt use the brown lifeless stuff after using the good stuff. It has been a long time since i had to buy LR and lots has changed in 8 or 9 years and im not 4 hrs from LA any longer. Well anyway I am happy to have found a local PNW forum and from wha i have read and experienced so far the community is a great one and I look forward to gettng to know more of you. Ok well enough of my ramblings lol. I am looking for just a few cheaper frags of montipora or easier acropora small is om with me as I am new to SPS i have mostly only kept softies but i want to give a few a shot and see how I do with them. Thank you for reading and any help is apreciated around albany or salem up to wilsonville or down to Eugene I can do portland/vancouver I would just have to plan a day and time for that as its not quite as quick a drive. Thanks again
