who me? I have been known to have a sense of humor from time to time....
The guy that answered the phone says they've been open for 3 weeks.. open 11-6 sat/sun/mon and 11-7 tues/wed/thur/friday.
I just found out about them today while reading the classifieds... I guess since they are new to town it isn't likely anyone has been out there, but if someone gets a chance to stop by let us know how it looks? |

That address looks to be from what I remember a residential address... I grew up, lived and worked as a delivery driver in that exact area... More than likely its out of his Garage.. Nothing wrong with it just dont be suprised..

I headed over there today after seeing this thread. It is a couple blocks off division near Cayes (awesome store). It is owned by an asian guy in a soutas like location. Its very clean, they have a tub for live rock, I got an awesome deal on my base rock at Hidden Reef today. Also he has CLEARLY POSTED pricing (omfg its possible?)! The pricing is actually quite reasonable, and he has a moderate variety. Division area has some nice variety, I always head to Cayes the oldest store since the 60's. Cayes has been doin some remodeling and expanding its inventory of saltwater and anemonies, then of course you gotta hit soutas for poor service and great live stock, but I would recommend checking out this new guy, he is quite polite and pretty friendly.

Looks like it must be pretty close to David Douglas High School? I grew up in the Centennial area.

Bijjy - Did he have a decent variety of snails/hermits?
I'm in perpetual re-stocking stocking mode while "the unknown" continues to devour my cleanup crew...
Thanks.

From what I saw he did have SPS frags, not tons but the ones he had seemed to be in good shape. For the other quesition I am not sure if he stocked many snails or hermits, but I honestly did not look. Right near him there is Cayes Pets which has been there forever which always has a pretty good stock, and really nice people (unlike some other stores in portland and tualatin). You can also check out A to Z if you are desperate they are only a couple minutes away from Cayes and Hidden Reef. I wouldnt buy the fish there as I have seen them feeding goldfish to their agressive fish. But if you are out of options you could grab a couple hermits over there on 165th ish.
