Sand in Portland?
Anyone know where I can get some sand for a [acronym:e4e002a1ff="Deep Sand Bed"]DSB[/acronym:e4e002a1ff] in the Portland area? Home Depot doesn't carry the Southdown sand.

there really isnt a place that carries Cheap sand around here.. Most of us have just bought it from the [acronym:15f3f81bce="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:15f3f81bce].. However I have heard rumors that the Homedepots around here will be carrying it here in the spring time.. But its just rumors.. Ther eis a place in Idaho that carries southdown that I know some have gone there.. Its like www.idahosaltwateremporium.com I believe..

Can you recommend a good [acronym:366778ead2="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:366778ead2]? I've only been to Upscales and Soutas so far.

Both upscales and Soutas are good places to go.. There is also Seahorse which the guy there is a super nice guy.. www.seahorse-nw.com You can also check out www.thereeftank.com which also has a regional forum pnwmas which is a local group that meets once a month and does trading and such... Soutas is good for [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Small Polyped Stoney"]SPS[/acronym:3ba9c5a567] [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:3ba9c5a567].. Upscales is good for just about anything.. Seahorse is good for [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Large polyped Scleractinian (stoney) coral"]LPS[/acronym:3ba9c5a567] corals and fish... There is also A-Z pets which is off 162nd and division.. They dont really know too much about [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:3ba9c5a567] but they are learning.. They have great prices and some pretty cool livestock.. They have been doing [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:3ba9c5a567] for along time and have just ventured into [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:3ba9c5a567] but be forwarned about the advice they give Its a bit past tense [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:3ba9c5a567]... There is also Waves as well.. they are about 10mins away from Upscales.. They are fairly good too but no warranty what so ever on their livestock... Personally I order alot of my livesotck online at Liveaquaria.com.. 10day gaurentee and extremely reasonable expecially if you split the 24.99 s/h with someone or order 175.00 and get free s/h... If you need any help with anything just let me know.. I am always here to help... And you are more than welcome to come over and check out my tank... Its nothing too big right now but soon it will be [acronym:3ba9c5a567="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:3ba9c5a567]..
