Moving to the Okanagan

Hey Gools,

Welcome to Vernon. As everyone has said, AJ's is the main store around here. Complete Pet has also stepped into salt and they have some good deals every now and then on livestock, but don't carry anything for dry goods. Andrew at AJ's is working on selling the satellite Armstrong store they have and doubling the tanks at the main Vernon store.

I've been in the hobby for about 1 1/2 years after prompting from AJ and know a few other reefers if you have any other questions. I don't frag yet myself but would love to talk about it over a brew sometime.

I'm sure there are more than a few reefers in Vernon, so I'd like to see some type of local group get together. Maybe this is the start of something.

that BC interior Frag swap is a good plan. I would enjoy to see and be apart of that!

Thanks for the welcomes. I just strolled into town at 5 this morning. With about 150+lbs of live rock, and a bunch of my favorite sps frags. Unfortunetly I don't have my tank yet, still in the movers truck, so I have my rubbermaids to stare at all day. Once I get into my new place in the next couple weeks, I'll give you guys a shout, and we can get together.

Welcome to Vernon

Wow you picked a perfect day to roll into town.

Just remember this weather when we get to the dull sunless days of Fall and Winter.

I hope everything survived the trip. Good luck with the unpacking!

How goes the rubbermaid tubs??? Everything still alive and kicking?

corals are good, maybe lost 1 or 2 out of 15 different varieties, but fragged 2 of each. Also shipped all my live rock. All are holding up good in there make shift containers.

How goes your moving adventure now? Has everything adjusted to rubbermaids? How are you keeping flow in each container?
