Good LFS in Vancouver??

I will be having the opportunity to go to the Mainland this long weekend. I know where J & L Aquatics are... but that is about it.
Can anyone tell me of another good place to check out? I would need the address & tel# as well, please.

thanks!

thanks ReefBurnaby, but I would be taking the bus from PoCo. Last time I took the bus from Pitt Meadows to Abbotsford, it took me forever!<g>
I've heard of them, but I just won't be able to make it out to there.
Thanks anyway!

Usually when I drive out to the Coquitlam area, I visit J&L Aquatics, King Ed Pets, and Big Al's.

and I can find these people in the local phone book? I was just going to scour the phone book under PET STORES, call up a couple LFS and head out to see them. But I am not limiting myself just to the Coq area. ô¿ô

Hi,

Unfortunately, I think your best bet is J&L. Most of the other stores tend to push products than provided you with good solid advice. Unless you already know what exactly you want to buy, it is best not to trust their advice.

hey chris,
you go to coral ocean often?
last time i talked to him, he said he was beginning to steer away from sps, cuz his system wasnt ideal conditions for them(if they didnt sell right away).
FWIW, i never see sps there, cuz people always buy them upon arrival. oh well, JL is alot closer for me anyway.

He has been saying this for years. I gave up going there because they never had any stock.
