If your looking for salt stuff in the Kamloops.....the ONLY place you'll find any decent livestock/corals is Totel Pet.
Call ahead and find out when their shipments come in. The Total Pet in Kamloops is WAY better than Vernon or Kelowna for salt stuff. As for the Okanagan.....your right...reefkeepers.ca or A.J.'s Pets vernon. Theirs' nothing wrong with getting J&L to throw some stuff on the bus for you too!!!!! I'm down thier about once a month....(in Van)...so if someone in the loops is looking for something in particular let me know. PS>it ich season so watch out!!!! Quaranteene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno...i see that people are in a rush to fill their x-mas tanks up. As a result, LFS are mass ordering during the coldest time of year which also stress out fish too.
I just find that in January/February you will definately find ich in pet stores, and shortage of cleaner shrimp too. Just my observation, I guess..... Permits are $25

It sounds like some of you guys in Kelowna should make a trip up to Vernon once in a while. AJ's is still a little expensive (like Pet City, most things are $50-$60) but they carry clean-up crews galore and they are starting to get more and more corals during each shipment. Andrew the owner knows his stuff pretty well too.
The manager of Complete pet is a fairly dedicated reefer (4 or 5 decent tanks at home and working on more) and has 5 tanks of salt stuff. She's usually priced 10 -15% below AJ's and brings in some interesting stuff. She will also do some frags sometimes (rare & no SPS) but I haven't found anyone else who will do this in the Okanagan. Complete pet is on 29th St...behind Canadian Tire.

I visited them last summer when I first started reseaching reefs. They were still intheir basement at that time. So when they moved next door they built a dedicated building?

Oscar,
Yes, they build a dedicated shop out back for the tanks. its quite nice, and that to me shows dedication, as they do not make much off the sales. They are in this for good and well being of the hobby. Randy is very knowledgable about the equipment and majority of the livestock. The only down side is, they may be closing the doors and going to apointment basis only, due to some Jackass, who thought it would be funny, apparently poured some perfume or other toxic chemicle into their reef tank causeing the loss of thousands of dollars in fish & Corals. On the other hand, they are always helpful, and i find them Cheaper for many things. Rock @ RK, is 8$ /lb AJ's is 12$/lb chromis $2/15 AJ's is 19$ each many more examples, but clearly if your in the kelowna area, Reefkeepers is the place to go. for now.
