Barrier Reef, Oceans by Design, Sierra Pets has some Saltwater. Also check out Crystal Reef Aquatics in Bellingham (they are fairly new but have some nice livestock). Red C Aquariums is a bit old and dingy but had lots of really nice corals when I was there. Also Saltwater City on the Bellevue side of the lake.

Anyone want recommendations in Portland I can suggest some there too

scott if you want to bring coral frags back, just use one of those soda cup from McD and fill it up with saltwater and put the straw and lid on for camouflage...lol I've been to the border couple of times and they only care if you bring tobacco or alcohol.

That's pretty risky lol. Iono if its worth it to be on the border popo's black list n always being checked every time u pass border and the hefty fines.

Or you can drive along the street parallel with 0 street on the US Aldergrove border and toss your corals across and pick it up later after you cross the border

One time I was at YVR custom and decided to report my palau nepthea frag that I brought in a small container. The custom guy was mad at me first because I didn't have any documentation about the corals but since it was only a small frag he let me go but told me not to do that again. As I was packing my duffel bag, I saw a Filipino couple got detained for bringing in fried chicken in unmarked cans. They were smiling to each other not knowing the consequences until the same custom officer who spoke to me said, " Sir, I will fine you $800 for bringing undeclared meat products to Canada. You told another agent earlier that you didn't bring any meat products. Obviously you lied to us." I saw the lady almost cried.
