Hey, for Animal House ( Don't think it's in the phone book yet ) take the Mt.Lehman exit take a left over the bridge, and after the first set of light's there is a Mc Donalds and IGA complex on the right, it is right in there. Petlovers is 32700 South Fraser way in the West Oaks Mall. Right were the Save-on and London Drugs are.

You know, I will be out to see Tim @ Seacare in the middle of Oct... maybe I can convince the husband to take a yonder to see Rob at PetLovers (Mak-don't tell him I am coming in case I don't! smile.gif But it's been years since I've seen him and a visit would be cool)
Is Animal House worth a visit though?

No lovey, we are doing it the affordable way... Buy what we can afford and then save up again for what we need. We are planning a trip (in Oct for our anniversary) to see Tim to get sand off of him. Then maybe pop into J&L for salt and bit of other stuff.
Then I think all we'll need is to buy LR, water tests and build a canopy for our lights! But, more than likely, we'll need lots of other stuff before we set up tank.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Depends on what you're looking for. If you're in Chilliwack at Tim's, you should definately pop over to the Animal House out there. They have a really beautiful display tank. If you're looking for something specific, call ahead.
Good to here Jenna, but remember you don't exactly have to have every single think before you set it up ;) smile.gif .

Just in from Abbotsford, well I didn't get out to Sea care as I don't know Tim or where his store is.As for the two stores I did visit: Animal house has good potential,friendly somewhat knowledgable staff, and a fair setup for there tanks-I will try again at a later date!
Petlovers hummm, I have to be honest I have seen better looking toilet bowls-and being 32 years of age I have seen a few toilets! I feel sorry for the customers that have to shop in this place. All I can say about this store is it's tanks are a bad setup from the sump up! I guess I am always comparing other stores to my fav. J&L. I shopped at Paul's and Perky's for almost two years before branching out to other shops so my view on lfs now are more in depth after discovering J&L this year. This is just my opinion so please don't be mad or take offence to the above statements. I think visiting other stores helps in the learning process of this hobbie. So all I can say is I'm glad I don't have to rely on these stores for my stocks-sorry Abtsfrd residents-do the drive-head to J&L, it's worth every gal. in fuel.
Just my two bits,no offence sumpfinfishe :( :rolleyes:
Hi Rich,
Too bad you didn't make it out. I could have got out of painting the roof smile.gif
Cheers,
Tim
Is this Tim from Seacare? Do you have like an outlet or something? And Where? smile.gif

Hi Tim, so do you have a store or do you frag from home? I will make a trip out if I know what stock you have as I have heard that you are very knowledgable. How and where do I find you?
Regards-Rich :D
Hi Mak,
Yes, its Tim from SeaCare. I joined the list incognito as I am still a hobbyist at heart. I chose Clam Man because clams are my favourite and I figured after having 3000+ I kind of know what they like/need to thrive. I am about five minutes from Animal House in Chilliwack. Visits are by appointment only as I tend to operate a weird schedule, thanks to the airlines!!!
Hi Rich,
SeaCare is more like a commercial wholesaler than a retail store. I do not have a fancy display tank but then I do have several much larger coral holding tanks that are very interesting. I have a large variety of stuff in stock. Email me off list for directions etc.
Cheers,
Tim
