I know the shipping costs on salt and sand can be quite high. So if anyone wants me to pick stuff up I should have room.

As for the stores around here, TP is not too much more than Van lately. But the coral selection is not so good unless you get in there early on days the corals come in. PL on the other hand only has "frag" size pieces and wants $40-80 for each. Almost always more money than TP.
TP has a few guys that acutally run reef tanks at home, and DO know what they are doing. In PL it is tough to find anyone who know more than the marketing dribble (who wants a 23 watt T5 light for more than a 55HO T5?)

Let me know if yur going down....thanks,
JIM

Anyone headed to J&L? I have a couple of things I'd like to score... Could be added to an order and combine shipping, or if someone's going, I could chip in some gas/toll money

Thanks,

Derrick

lisa and i are going to hidden reef next week sometime and can get you your stuff there if you llike.

Todd,

Welcome to the forum - first post!!! I'm looking forward to seeing your tank - is it up and running yet?

[todd516]

no the tank is not here yet. It got broken at the place that was making it. Then we took my mom away to mexico came home and now lisa and i are going to orlando for a week and then we are going to go get it at hiddin reef. Maybe in the next 2 weeks i might have a tank for you to come and see and help me set up. The guy at hidden reef is still going to come set up the tank but i want to have some stuff ready first.

really? someone from hidden reef is going to go to kamloops so set up your tank? thats pretty cool.

welcome todd......
derrik, they have a pair of blue throats at J&L now....
I thought that you might have said you were possibly looking for one.?.

I will be in coming back through van on the 22nd too....so if you guys are looking for something at that time ... let me know & I'll keep my eyes open.

I called J&L today, and all the Blue Throats are gone - I was hoping for a single male, but obviously "snoozed" too long. Oh well - the hunt continues...

Their website now says they have 2 lone males at $80 each.....not sure how old that is.....
