![]() When I was in high school (over 15 yrs ago) I worked at PJ's pets and they were the only store in Edmonton that had saltwater anything. I remember hooking up the spraybar over the giant bin of bio-balls and thought this is the best filter ever!! I believe the LR was by special order only and you had to pay first.
I think one of the biggest improvements has been transportation of livestock. We were lucky to get damsels or a few tangs on the order sheet it was usually 1/2 page.

![]() Not that I was even around, but my dad has kept saltwater for probably 30+ years. First with seahorses and then getting a 100g saltwatertank in the late 80's with a wet/dry filter and liverock which he ordered from an lfs and picked up at the airport direct from florida. The rock was very live from what I am told with sponges and what not. He had anenomes, clownfish, tangs, gobies even a queen angel but took it down shortly after I was born and went on a saltwater hiatus.

![]() I have only kept salt for 5 years or so, but fresh since grade 7(1988 i think), started with a tank from a garage sale and whatever fish i could get with my meager allowance and flyer route.
I would bicycle to Hole in the Wall in Calgary at lease once a week, even in minus 30, oogle at all the salt fish and the shark pool in the back, I don't remember prices but i remember my dad cringing any time I tried to talk him into letting me do salt. |
