Pet City in the South end of Kelowna does salt water. Small store & a little tricky to find, but every time I've been in there, the salt section has been very well maintained. It's in a small mall area along the lake, east (right turn Clyde) after you cross the bridge coming from the south. There are a couple larger pet outlets just off the main thoroughfare, one either side, just north of Spall. One carries livestock, the other larger one on the other side has some hardware for marine & I got a good deal on a bucket of IO salt there.

If you're headed farther north to Vernon, AJ's Pets & Things is the only pet store with marine goodies. Not all that great, but it's all we have now.

I think it's the Grizz that's looking to have some items brought from Penticton.

That's right... It's the grizz. He has a 65ish gallon tank and sump sitting in penticton that he needs back.... Shoot him a pm... I'm sure he'd be very grateful.

Hey thanks for all the replys! I am in kelowna tonight and will check out the stores tomorrow providing they are open on Sunday's! Unfortunately I can't bring anything back with me as I have a two door car with my girlfriend and I and all of our camping gear for two weeks. Lets just say to pack it took me two hours haha. But nevertheless thanks for all the replys!
