About to place a livestock order to be shipped to my home in Vernon from Oceansdirect.ca. I have already hit the free shipping amount so let me know if you wanna add to my order before it is placed.

Thanks, Shawn.

Welcome to Canreef...good to see another Vernonite on here. I've never heard of this Oceansdirect before but will check out their site.

Where in Vernon are you? Tell us about your tank?

Good to hear of ya.

I'm up on Middleton Mtn, Mt Ida Drive.

I have a 500litre reef tank ( I think that is 130g maybe 140g? ) with about 220lbs of live rock.

I'm new to aquariums but have had my tank going since Mid December.

I'll post more at a later date, gotta go to bed now. I work at the brewery and start really early tomorrow

Later, Shawn.

when did you plan on placing the order? i wouldnt mind a few zoa frags. welcome to canreef!

Wow...so where did you get your tank? What do you have in it now? Can you tell us some about your equipment...like skimmer, sump, flow...

I live down near the Walmart...but have had my tank running for about 4 years.

Kind of interesting, how a new user lists a company to do a group order with that not many people have heard of.

Some really good prices (except the TEK fixtures). I don't know of anyone that ships livestock for free. Interesting.

Ocean's Direct is associated with the store in Toronto called North American Fish Breeders.
Those of us from Ontario would be more familiar with it than most of you guys out in the west.

I can at least vouch that there coral frags are good. I got my acans from them and they are beautiful and growing very well in my system.
Shipping to my place was great. But I live in Ontario, so I cannot vouch for how there shipping to your area may be.

I will let you know though, that if they run out of stock for an item that you order, they may not tell you until after they ship it, that they have substituted it with something else that is similar to other things you ordered. For example on my last order, two zoas frags were not available but they substituted them with a nice acan frag instead which equaled to more than the cost of the zoas and in the same color range the zoas were. So I was happy.

Their communication is also fairly decent via email though the turn around may be a day.

I completely agree...seemed a bit strange.
