Default Salt water stores in Edmonton

Hi, I will be in Edmonton at the end of the month for a few days and I am wondering where the good salt water stores are.

Thanks,
Gary

I like Blue World and Little Oceans and Big Als too but Aquarium Illusions i have to say the jury is still out. met an interesting Iranian Guy but then another larger (fatter) Guy hassled me to buy something even though I said I am on a definate time line. Its the only place where someone has pressured me to buy!! so if your only visiting I`d say stay clear, the other two are hassle free. just my opinion.

I highly recommend you go talk to my buddy Ken and Shannon at Blue World by far the best customer service and price in town, the guys at Aquarium illusions treated me like an idiot, and I don't remember his name but there is a gut at Big Al's that looks like Reese of the tv show Criminal minds, young man was very very helpful, that us the 2 people I would only deal with.

aquarium illusions has good selection of fish and corals but has high prices on aquarium supplies and i dont really like the staff. I like marine aquaria the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and prices are good.
