Dang, cant we meet in the middle somewhere ? 65-70 all year round for everyone!
Electricity up here is cheap w/ Hydro electric dams- .07 cents per kwh flat rate!
Ill go check it out,thanks! for now it looks like it is going to be ok, most of the pipes will have running 80 degree water, but the RODI & water change lines may need the heat tape.
So in Portland I got from Cuttle Fish & Corals
Flame Wrasse pair $200
Flame Tip Nem $300
Labouti $100
Frags I bought 1x $40 and 2x $50 each, and they had a deal for 2 free (1x $40, and 1x $20 frags free)
No Sales tax in Oregon also so saved 10% on top of everything

Yeah it was a good deal so I figgured I could just throw them in a cooler and hopefully they would survive the 3 hours back to Spokane.
I was really impressed with the prices for the fish- i guess labor, rent, electricity, etc is cheaper in Portland than CA so there is less overhead = better prices for the consumer or tourist like me!

Update on the progress-
I made a screen top for the tank since I was getting a couple visitors I did not want inside the tank
Finished up plumbing inside the house (modified Herbie)
Started laying out rockwork and drilled the live rock
Built my new canopy- I put in some z clips on the front so now my front panel is removeable!! I did not like having to take the canopy off, slide it over, or having to lean over the height of the canopy on my old setup. This works MUCH better, and the canopy is lighter to move around.
I ghetto-rigged my sander to the vacuum to make a dustless sander to keep the wife happy! She did not want sawdust all over the garage. It worked amazingly
But little did she know the circular saw didnt have a dust port so keeping the garage sawdust free was an epic fail!!
