Lets have a nice topic about vendors you've gotten good stock from.

My most recent but yet to have the order shipped is

Caco3reef.
He has gone beyond the call of duty sorting through the maxi's he got in and I'm pretty pumped about the five he has set aside. Definitely someone I will buy from again.

Bayside Corals.
Colby and Gustavo have endless knowledge, great customer service and bullet proof packing and never short on corals.

J&L Aquatics.
Great selection of dry goods and quick shipping.

Modular LED
Very easy to deal with, great pricing and quick delivery.

I have bought livestock from sooo many vendors across western Canada over the years. I don't remember any "bad" experiences.

Good experiences in the last year: Bayside Corals, The Reef Shoppe, Fragalot, Red Coral Edmonton, Blue World Edmonton.

I have had good experiences with J&L, Oceanic, Ocean Aquatics, king eds, "the non sponsored F word" and places in the states as well...

I would have to say most of the LFS's that I frequent around Metro Vancouver are good, albeit they have different strengths.

But for online ordering, have to mention Eli of Caco3reef for exceptional customer service. I had a few questions after an order about the use of some of his products. He not only answered emails promptly and thoroughly, but offered to phone me if I needed further explanation. I even felt a bit guilty that he was willing to take the extra time and effort with me, as I am sure the profit he made wouldn't cover his time. So he is one vendor that I would highly recommend and he will get more business from me, for sure.
