We are roadtripping to Tofino from Calgary, leaving this weekend and driving west. Looks like we'll have some time next weekend to check out some stores on the way back (Vancouver at least). I'm pretty sure the family won't be overly impressed with me trying to hit all the stores, but what are the would be the can't miss stores?

J&L aquatics in Burnaby and Ocean Aquatics in Delta, BC. OA is right on River Road on the right hand side across from the Husky. River road intersects with Hwy 99 right before the tunnel.

J&L is off the Galardi exit, at the intersection of Lougheed Hwy & Brighton.

JL aquatics in Burnaby, Island pets is just down the street from JL but you could skip it if you don't have time.

Progressive reef is a must see if you are traveling through Victoria.

Thanks everyone! J&L is on my list, see you all posting good things on a regular basis so will make the stop for sure! Would love to hit Progressive as well, but don't think we will make it down that way....

Ocean Aquatics is on the list now too!

I am in Calgary, but buy from J&L all the time. Great pricing, some of the best and free shipping. Would love to see the store, maybe one day... Let us know your experience at the storefront.

I've only been to Victoria once a few years ago and I absolutely loved it. Was before my reefing days but we did go whale watching, one of the best experiences of my life!! Will try to convince the family we should go!
