J-Dog Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Does anyone know the best places to get some good corals for a decent price in the Portland Metro area? I live in Oregon City and my LFS doesn't have the greatest selection of corals to buy. I don't want to order online, but I might have to if I can't find what I want locally. Please help if u can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kshack Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Come to the club BBQ. I have some nice LPS that I need to get out of the tank to make room for some other corals. Meet the group and do some window shopping at the same time. What are you looking for? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 look through the archives on here...lots of members selling corals. OR any of the above shops will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The oregon city store is definitely not the greatest for livestock. They are closest to me also and I only go there for dry goods when I need something quick. I was in there a couple weeks ago and asked if he ever got any yumas in (I am always on the hunt for yumas!) He tells me they are illegal to buy so he doesn't have them. (nutty) (scratch) DOH! (laugh) Upscales is also close to Oregon City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 In addition to the above, Upscales in Tualatin has a great selection of coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dog Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I am looking for some nice SPS coral. I'm just starting out, so some Birdsnest or Monti Caps would be nice. If any of those stores have some, please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshack Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Just about any of those stores will have some birds nest or caps. I have some ORA green birds nest $10 for a large piece Birds of paradise..$15. Piece of tri-color...free at the BBQ. Large piece-negotiable Can be seen at the BBQ this Saturday at 2PM.

undrtkr_00 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You might also post a WTB ad in the classified section. There are a number of members living in Oregon City who'd be happy to show off their tanks and probably make you a deal on some nice pieces. Kilmca (Calvin) always has lots of frags on hand, and dsoz (Dennis) is a fragging fiend! I have a few available, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
