Default Does anyone know where I can purchase an Oceanic 14-gal biocube in Hamilton-Toronto

The canopy on my six-year-old, eight-gallon Oceanic Biocube has seen it's last days.

I've called a handful of suppliers (chain stores) in the Hamilton area and all say their chains no longer carry them because there is no market for them.

Anybody know where I can find the latest-generaton, 14-gallon Oceanic nano cube? I'm located in Hamilton, Ontario and would like to find one in the Toronto-St. Catherines corridor.

Thanks.

Try big Al's I was there a couple of weeks ago they had a couple biocubes.
Might be the new gen though. Didn't really look at them.

Default 29 gallon at Big Als

Thanks. Big Als has a 29-gallon tank. Unfortunately they don't carry anything smaller any more.

Hey Mom, welcome to CanReef! J&L has them in Vancouver but they are $60 to ship out to you . Hopefully somebody in Toronto knows where to get one.

Default Have not found a 14 gal Oceanic Biocube yet!

Hi Dan,

Thanks very much for the information. I found a Big Als in Mississauga that carries the Oceanic 14 gallon biocube but it's $100 more ($350) than it is in B.C. It would be less expensive for me to have it shipped from B.C. to Hamilton.

I did find a Coralife 14 gallon biocube that was listed for $350 and I can get it for $300. There is also a website in London (a bit far) that carries an Oceanic 14 gallon biocube; it's also $300. They won't ship it either which means a long drive.

So I'm still hoping that someone will know where I can get an Oceanic 14 gallon biocube (latest model) in the Hamilton-Toronto corridor for around $250.

I need to take some action very soon before I lose the corals in my 8-gallon biocube.

As well, I'm getting some cyanic algae for the first time in six years and I suspect my low-lights might be contributing to the problem. Poor Horatio! He needs a new home fast.

Take care,
Mom

Try petsandponds.com they are that way some where. I think they used to.

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.

Issue of where to find 14-gallon biocube has been resolved. I found one. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
