Anyone from Kelowna still here?
I got out of the Hobby in 2010 and remember a lot of local activity, getting back into it now and wondering if it's still there.

I'm pretty sure I met you in Kelowna, but I don't live there anymore.

You bet, I can't remember what I bought or traded off you but I remember it vaguely.
How's the Reef scene in SK? |

How's Kelowna's scene? SW was never big in Kelowna. Pet City has that bigger store now, how's he doing for SW sales? Purple Seahorse always had the cheap salt, but I rarely bought stuff there. Then there was the one out of the house that was SW only...can't remember what he was called - he shut down didn't he? There was that other guy that tried it out of his basement, I think he was around for a couple years? |

Reefkeepers shut down and I don't think Chris who started that other one out of his home is doing it any more either. I hear there is a decent place in Vernon but haven't looked into them much. I haven't set up another tank yet, but purchased a 90 Gallon, and a few things to get ready. Going to be doing an inwall set up, with a small fishroom in the furnace/laundry room. |

Oh right it was called Reef Keepers. I always found it uncomfortable to go to someone's home to shop - always felt like I had to buy something. Same with Chris - oh, it was called Interior Reef - but he never really had anything when I went over there. The one in Vernon is AJ's Pets n Things. AJ is buddies with a good reefer friend of mine in Vernon, and AJ came along to MACNA in Dallas in 2012 I think it was. He learned a lot about SW while he was there, and was really humble and willing to learn and listen. He wanted to improve the SW aspect of his shop. I'm not sure if he accomplished his new vision or not...? Quote:

AJs is still pretty much the only game in Vernon at the moment. There is/was a lady on Bella Vista Road with a home based operation but I haven't checked on that in a while. Come to think of it, it's been a few weeks since I stopped in at AJs and I noticed he was redoing most of the salt water tanks in the back. Had pretty much everything torn out on one wall. I'll have to pop in again soon to see how that's coming along.
