ill be in portland on the 9th to check it out and look for a place to live and all the cool places in town. ill be around a few days and then back home to socal. then i will be moving to portland after the 1st and will start a 120 gallon SPS project. any help folks can offer at this time is greatly appreciated. main help i need is plumbing solutions. id like to visit some reefs and see how plumbing has been done and then decide from there where to go. my 135 i have now is plumbed in a very simple amateur manner with lots of room for problems. i don't want to make that mistake with the new tank. also, anything i can buy used from local reefers would be greatly appreciated. i am going to do this tank right and don't want to cut corners, so i will be wanting to meet up with reefers and discuss possibilities. sorry for the long message, im exctied for the change and the new tank. anything in portland that is a "can't miss" while im visiting?

well welcome to the board first

as for tanks to see, mine sucks as far as that goes lol, so cant help you there, but some places to check out are soutas is a really nice place, look them up on the web, i think its soutas.com, but could be wrong, as for other really good shops, i cant think of any off the top of my head, but im sure lots of people know more, hope you have fun while your here, its fun around here

if you want to see this in person, let me know.

or maybe your intrest lies in a closed loop of some sort...

at some point in time you will need to buy a ticket to the steve weast aquarium fantasyland. that is about the most substantial and impressive plumbing this side of.. well.. anywhere. while a lot of it would be overkill on a 120, i constantly kick myself for not taking better notes before i set up my most current system's plumbing. (hey steve, if you can get it worked out for people to pay to see your tank, lynn will design the flyers and tickets for 5%).
