Rob there's Hidden Reef in Abbotsford as well which will be about 20-25 minutes from you. Mike has been fantastic with me.

Are you looking for acrylic rod to hold rockwork together?
If so Industrial Paint and Plastic in Langley is where I got mine years ago. They used to be off of Glover Road, but, I heard they had moved.
You should be able to find their new location in a Langley directory or by putting the name and city into something like Mapquest.

Pet Zoo is in Langley. I haven't been there yet myself, but, they have some SW and the owner is a nice guy.

well got a chance to finally get to j&l. nice shop and tanks.
checked apollo for ceramic shafts and they only carry steel. check with big al's and they had one in there box of parts!!
managed also to make it to Industrial Paint and Plastic and get some plastic rod for rock arranging.
i'm going to have to post some pics of the rock work now...
looking at the map, i was debating about going from j&l to ocean aquatics, monday afternoon and i had 2 hours to get this done. but not knowing the city and how to get there, the trip ocean aquatics will be next time.
i could use some instructions, from some locals as to the quickest way to get their from j&l.

Glad you had a good trip Rob! I am heading to Hidden Reef in Abbotsford on Thursday to pick up my Marine Tech calcium reactor, Spectrapure ro/di unit, a couple bags of sand and 65 lbs of Haiti live rock for my 90 gallon set up.
