jackaninny Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 New place on NE Mississippi Ave opening with a 1300 gallon reef tank and 800 gallon Koi pond. Opening May 15th. Anyone have the backstory on the tank? Uchu Place website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hozer21 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wow that's going to be sweet to see how they set the tank up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Interesting.......... I'll put that on my "bucket list". If not for the tanks- just for the Sushi and chicken (and waffles ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRock Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Will the sushi come out of the tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerv503 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Wow, what a good place for a reef tank makes me hungry. Vin "Keep On Reefing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 One of the owners came to my house and bought one of my stainless and black lobster tanks. They will definitely have very fresh seafood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I don't like sushi but its just a few blocks from my store, N Mississippi has transformed in the last few years to a pretty cool area, galleries, micro brews, restaurants, shops, I'll check it out and report back! OK I just checked the website link...Fried Chicken...I'm there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Maybe have the May meeting there? Show some support for a local business with a reef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sounds good or maybe the xmas party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 May meeting is already scheduled down south at Oxx155's place in Springfield. Might have to look into what they can do for the Xmas Party. Good idea!! I'll look into it and report back when I hear something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Jess loves sushi, I love fried chicken, how in the hell could you ever go wrong? We'll be checking it out once it opens, so we can give a good review, I'll let her write up the sushi review, she tends to be a bit of a snob towards sushi places LOL.

Michael7979 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have sent off an email and I'm waiting for a response. I'll let everyone know when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well it took a little time to get a response back, but Christian did. Very busy with opening a new restaurant and all . Well it looks as thou the place is alittle on the small side in regards to them holding the Xmas Party. Unless they are willing to rent us the entire place! Which he said is not out of the question but as of now they have not really thought about doing that, OR how they would do that. But again he said it could be an option. Here is a part of his email about the tanks..... The Reef tank is an 800 gallon L-shaped display with a 500 gallon refugium/sump. We've built in the large support tank because I plan to add at least one more large tank after we settle in. I am only just now about to fill it, finally with saltwater, so the reef will be sometime in development. He is a member here and "in his free time" he does check us out. He said he was excited that we showed so much interest in the rest./tanks. More as, more come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Looking forward to this place opening up. Thanks for looking into it! Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunMonahan Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I heard some rumors about a large reef tank in a new restaurant here, now confirmed. Has anyone checked out Dragonfish in downtown PDX (the Paramount Hotel) and their reef tank? I have not been there in a few years. They had a decent display with a huge gigas clam and some nice softies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmack Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 the uchu tanks Hey, I built those! I also bought the lobster tank from said member, thank you! works great. Still haven't started selling crab out of them. Hopefully soon. The construction pet crab survived two weeks before the inevitable. I'm open to any questions about the construction and mechanics of them. I'm no reef keeper, but I get the mechanics of it. I'm a sucker for the simplicity of Koi keeping.... For corrections sake, the reef tank is 800 +/- gallons, with a 500 gallon sump/refugium. The reef is not yet populated, but with time...........
