LFS in Portland??
Just a general question since I'll be out in Portland in a few weeks on business and was curious if anyone had any good reef related places to visit. Thanks,
Jon........

If you are talking about Portland, Oregon there is an awesome saltwater store called Upscales in Tualatin, which is just a little south of Portland. I go there everytime I'm out that way.

Woody's Seahorse Aquarium in Portland is good. Upscales is great too.

Saltwater Fantaseas is great also. It's down off Sandy Blvd in Portland. Can't beat 'em for customer service and prices. Give them a call...503-255-1645.

Keep it coming! I'm looking for an excuse to get down to Northern California in early September to meet an old friend of mine! Looks like I'll keep the GPS busy in Oregon!
