Default LF: 14 gal BioCube parts

Howdy everyone,

I'm looking for a new ballast for my 14 gallon BioCube. It currently only has one working light in it and I'd like to change that now that I have some new tenants in it. (I was fine with it only having one light while it cycled.)

I've called around to a few places here in Edmonton and haven't had much luck... One store even told me that it was going to be $120 to get it in and it would take 4 weeks to get here... Slightly ridiculous in my mind.

I'm willing to pay for shipping if I can find it cheaper elsewhere. I found one place in the states through Oceanic's website, they wanted $49 for it (which I would gladly pay) but wanted an extra $45 for customs and shipping.

If anyone knows where I can get it around Edmonton, or in Canada for that matter, please share your wisdom!

Would just like to give a shout out to J&L Aquatic... My ballast arrived today and even with shipping, this came out to $60 under what most places quoted me.

Hahah I would.. but LED's are still quite pricey... maybe once they come down a bit, or if i can find a decent deal.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
