JasonH Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Stopped by Garrett's on the commute back from Corvallis today and checked out the new place. It looks awesome. If you haven't been there, you really should check it out. I needed to pick up a big cleaning crew update (being in Corvallis during the week is playing havoc on the tank upkeep). Garrett hooked me up with a big selection - taking the time to give me a couple of this and one-or-two of that. A nicer or more humble guy I haven't meet - in or out of the fish business. Plus he's got some insane stuff in right now. I could resist a frag of the $500 efflo - man that thing is gorgeous. I was eyeballing it in his disply in the old shop, and couldn't resist grabbing a frag of it - I need another frag like I need a whole in the head (but I'd rather have the frag). Oh, and he's got the smallest pipefish you've ever seen. Someone's got to pick that up. It's smaller than a toothpick, very cool. Anyway, thanks again Garrett.

JasonH Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Down in Salem - it's a garage shop, but very nice. Check out his Sponsor Forum for more info - The Premium Aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture Rabbit Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Sounds great, Salem isn't too far from Troutdale if the store is as cool, and with good (fair) prices as it sounds. Is there a website or photos? I'd love to check it out but have to convince the wife we should go check it out...I'm sure some of you can relate.

Jazmyne Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Checked out Garrett's for the first time last night. Great setup and more variety than I expected. Picked up a pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp and a frag of an LPS but I don't remember the name... Shop looks great. Look forward to visiting again!
