Default Where to find GFO in Calgary?

I have decided to start gfo (hating the diatom) but can't seem to track down any in Calgary. Any idea?

Cerith snails will take out diatoms. But tanks still " new".

I know but its driving me nuts My old 20 gallon had the bloom for like a week or something and gone. This tank has it for over a month! And the snails seem to have given up on the diatoms and only eat the films on the glass.

Both the big box stores will have it in stock, you can also use the product Chemi-pure Elite as its a mix + carbon.

Golds might also have some as well as Wias & Oceans.

If all else fails try J&L, they have never disappointed me.
