They are usually my last stop of fish store runs. Always a good conversation there and perfect way to wrap up the day.

I hear a lots happening in and around Langley. I've heard of a store possibly opening in Cloverdale and potentially another in Langley. Have also found out the Petland on Fraser Hwy will be doing salt again and that Mike from Hidden reef is working there again and running it. You may be over run with saltwater in the future lol
Hi Jim sorry to hear about OA shutting down, I am fairly new to the SW & reefing thing but always enjoyed talking with you and the advice you gave me, I 'm sure a guy with your knowledge will soon surface in another SW store in Langley hint, hint .

Thank you I enjoyed chatting also. That's what I'll miss the most is chatting with all the customers I've gotten to know well. It's like friends coming to visit while your at work lol. I've been getting all sorts of interesting offers so you just never know lol

Sorry OA. You will be lovingly missed.

Glad to hear Cloverdale/Langley is getting some real saltwater retail, if someone has any insight in that regard please PM me as I think I can help.
