Good Day! Dave & Tracy from Ridgeway, ON. New here and looking for saltwater reef stores in Ontario. Anyone have any suggestions for us? We're 2 hours from Toronto and 2 hours from London, so we're up for a drive!

Ridgeway is in the Niagara area right (my wife is from Wainfleet)

Not much point in coming the London way, 3 stores here, a Big Als with no stock, an "Incredibly" overpriced store, and a nice little store, but not a tonne of anything.

Best bet is to make your way along the 403. Stop at Oakville Reef Gallery (and the Oakville BA's across the street, then continue to Mississauge (Reefraft, Aquatic Kingdom, and the Chinese store all within a small area close to the BA's Mississauga.

Next would be NAFB, but that is over closer to the Toronto Zoo, so a little drive, and Sea U Marine in Newmarket.

There are a couple stores in Cambridge area too.

Thanks phyto4life and mark0933! We normally shop in the USA and there are several very nice stores in the Buffalo to Rochester corridor, but we would like to support Canadian vendors if possible. Thanks for the info, that gives us a couple of places to check out and see what they have!

If you go over our sponsor list, we have several from Ontario, plus most of the best online stores in Canada to order from.

Just thought I would throw that in the mix.

London, ON. No tank setup yet but I have 95% of the equipment I need. Light is on order from ReefGeek and waiting for a rock/sand shipment from eco-reefer at the end of the month.

I ordered most of my stuff from JL Aquatics which had good prices on everything but Lights. I have my US stuff shipped to the boarder than just go and pick it up (make a day trip out of it with the family). Its about a 45 minute drive to the boarder from my driveway.

I've been recommended to Fadelle Marine in St. Mary's for coral and livestock but i havent had a chance to go for everything is still in their original boxes

Welcom phi delt reefer. I used to live in London but now Im in Woodstock. I know what you mean about the stores in London. For livestock you will probably be best to make trips to the stores in east gta area. What you will save in $ and get in quality is far better. Stores like Oakville Reef Gallery, Aquatic Kingdom, Reef Raft. Also a little further are North American Fish Breeders and Sea U Marine. Oh and the oakville and mississuaga big als are pretty good for fish.
