Portland, Oregon Aquarium Maintenance Shop Needed . . . - Aquarium Advice

rcl4668 · 07-26-2005, 04:39 PM

I am in the Portland, Oregon area and have a 6 foot by 2.2 foot by 1.5 foot tank (I am not sure what this is in gallons) that is being converted from a freshwater to a saltwater tank. The shop that built our tank and that has been doing our tank maintenance will be doing the conversion back to saltwater but because they have lost some fairly knowledgeable staff recently we want to explore some other shops to do the maintenance on our tank.

Can anyone recommend a good shop or service that does (or better yet) specializes in saltwater tank fish and maintetance in the Portland, Oregon area? Surrounding areas such as Gladstone, Clackamas, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, etc. are fine too.

Thanks so much for any insight you can provide.
