I recently got a Matted File fish & an Apitasia Zapper from Paul @ Oceanic Corals. The file fish did a lot of hard work before I got the Zapper but took take of some of the big ones myself.

Edit: nice to see a newbie to the forum form Red Deer, Welcome.

With shipping it was around $100, they are one of the sponsors here and are located in Alder Grove, BC. I should have bought 2 so I could rent one out

NOPE!!! I will not deal with that jerk as long as I live. I would like to put him out of the SW business for good, but can't seem to find enough people interested in taking a 15 min drive out to my place if I was to set-up shop here.

lol that seems to be the rumor with dan lol but i hear ya its to bad a store like that has alot of potential so why not start up your own outfit in red deer. i have thought long and hard about a business plan to do something like that i'm not all that serious i have other priorities right now but a well stocked shop with fresh and salt livestock and then all the foods and additives to go along with them and have a wall of snakes/lizards/ and other wier things and your prime

Just to set- up a decent SW shop alown is in the neighborhood of $40k. I would only do SW fish, coral, supplies and equipment, I already have a few suppliers that I can call on when needed.

Kalk paste and some persistance?
I don't have much in my tank but it seems to work quite well.
and it's nothing I'm not already putting, or need in my tank.
