You could try Wai's up on 16th Ave N but his selection is limited. I'd recomend stopping buy Quick Grow on Macleod Tr. and 75th Ave. for the balasts and reflectors etc. You'd have to buy the bulb separately as they are a plant growing store and don't have bulbs suited for aquariums. Better yet, order online and save money!

I take it the selection in the Kootenay's is limited? I have a friend who comes here to buy HotWheels. :lol:

yes, the selection is limited. lots of grow shops too but to find a nice pendant, that you can hang in the open......is tough.
as for those hot wheel collectors, i know a bunch of them too.. my brother and a few of my friends collect them.. i work in retail store so i get to meet lots of them.

I would not look for a pendant in Calgary. I have two PFO pendants that I bought from Premium Aquatics online. Unfortunately shipping from the US has gone up a lot recently. But J&L has good pendants too. :biggrin:

Small world!! Every Chrismas we send him a care package with hotwheels in it. Everytime he comes to Calgary he goes to Toys R Us before we even get to see him. He's just a big kid. :mrgreen:

I'd skip Calgary for metal halide fixtures and go straight to the internet.

Do you know if they have any reflectors for flourescent tubes?

If so I will probably drop by the next time I am in town.
