In Nanaimo we used to have Age of Aquariums, but they shut down (maybe moving to Errington... ? All I have heard are rumors). There are two other stores that sell marine fish. Aquatec Exotics has six SW tanks (i think), but they seem kinda dirty... it seems all they have are some huge Regal Tangs crammed into 2 or 3 tanks. I probably wouldn't buy from them unless they get some new fish and take the algae covered plastic plants out.
But the one (can't remember the name) in Rutherford Mall looks promising. They just moved next door, and when I was in last they hadn't set up their tanks yet, but it looks like they will have a small marine section. When I was there a few months ago they had some fish that looked healthy, and a (small) handful of mushrooms/zoas, soft corals, snails, live rock, etc. We'll see how their new tanks turn out I guess.
Thats all I know of... oh, there's My Fish Tank in down town Nanaimo too, but I think they are freshwater only. I've been going to Victoria for most of my stuff. I heard there is a decent SW store in Courtenay? Anyone know?
