Drsfostersmith.com, marineandreef.com, and marinedepot.com are all really good places to deal with, and the prices are brilliant.

i just ordered a 24G aquapod from drsfostersmith. 360$ with the 150W MH...ive seen them up here selling for around 450-500$...why bother paying that much more?

Heh, not quick enough with a response.....



Please remember that THEY BOUGHT EVERYTHING at prices when the dollar was not equal, I hate narrowmindedness...please realize the markets respond quicker than merchants can often deal with, give them time I'm sure they will come down. Its the same thing with books etc. By all means this does not exonerate Canadian retailers, but it is not often as easy as some poeple think it is. Remember that shipping costs are included in Canadian products as well. You'll notice that for an american made product shipping is higher to canada than to the rest of the u.s.. Canadian prices reflect this.
