I can't believe that someone would poison a tank...that's just brutal.

As for stores with coral, AJ's is starting to bring in some more varied stuff these days and Complete Pet (also in Vernon) brings in some pretty unique livestock, but pretty basic corals (softies, polyps, etc.)

I heard that the pet store in the Mission has a pretty good salt selection...but I've never been there. On my two visits to Reef-keepers, I found them to be extremely rude, and willing to tell me anything to get me to buy. I personally don't plan on going back there.

To my knowledge, Penticton is void of any realy saltwater stores. Petcetera doesn't count because all they do is torture the fish.

The mission store is called Pet City. They guy is nice, but not the most knowledgable when it comes to corals. All his corals are $60, and he often cannot identify them for you. I think that's why the one price.

Reef Keepers are a bit on the haughty side. The wife more than the husband. But they have good livestock at the most reasonable prices, so that's where I go mostly.

So Nigel, how is the tank coming along?

Slow. Actually had my electrition here today, and gave me some more to do. Got my panel to put up, and I just went to homehardware and got some wire, so next week he will be here to finish it off, and then I can start to gyproc the inside wall.

Also got most of my plumbing supplies from sprayer parts in Winnipeg, so just rechecking my drawings making sure I don't have to change anything.

There's an awesome place to get plumbing supplies in town out at the interchange heading to Kamloops. If you are missing anything, I'm sure they have it.

Hey mark what kind of hours do you work? I need to pick your brain on some plumbing ideas. Are you availible Sunday morning at all? Or if anyone else in Vernon wants to comeover, and give me some suggestions, would be great. Tanks still on the floor but have been drawing up ways I want to do it. But not liking the way some of it's going.
