I would defenatly say Progressive,

after there move, a store to be proud of to have.

its set up, as a real candy store.

no big fuzz, no cramped feeling like the tanks are crawling up on you, I would almost say ITS MISSING A COUCH TO SIT ON

I think Oceanic Corals is a great stop if you have the time.

Progressive is closing down, so they should have some good deals.

I was in King Ed Pets(Burnaby) today for the first time and they had a surprisingly large marine section. I would say after J&L they have the most fish for sale and coral they are behind J&L and Ocean Aquatics.

Progressive reef is closing down, no way!!!!

Will be checking out a couple, we leave tomorrow morning.

+1 tons of bright corals at King Ed Pets

Well, I stopped in at Blue World, nice store friendly staff. Didn't buy anything but got my fishy fix anyway. Progressive was closed for the holiday and J&L was closed by the time we got back to Vancouver as was Oceanics. So I was dissapointed to only get to 1 store but overall, west coasters have it pretty good! Its beautiful from Tofino to Victoria, saw loads of sea life, whales, eagles, even a bear was out! So it was ok to not go chasing fish stores...:lol:

Fyi - bears and eagles are not suitable reef mates... Perhaps with some serious acclimation maybe.

Glad you enjoyed your trip.

Well I would have preferred a whale, but we were out of room in the van...the kids were trying to convince me that the anenomes, snails, crabs, and blenny like fish we found in the tide pools could all survive the drive to be added to the tank....bit of water temp diff!
Was a good trip!
