Default Road Trip to Vancouver

Good Day:

I am planning a one day trip to Vancouver from Victoria this week. Could anyone recommend any good places to see for corals and fish? I am planning to go to J&L Aquatics for the first time.

Thanks,

Michael

JL is probably all you need to go to while you're there you may as well want check King Eds. There are a few other places to go but outside of the Greater Vancouver area. At JL you will find great selection of available dry goods, hardware and of course, corals and fish at great prices but you can also get lucky at King Eds also.

Thanks for the replies. I am definately aim to go to J & L.

We are also heading to Ikea to pickup some furniture for the daugher's bedroom. Could you recommend any other furniture stores that would be worthwhile to check out?

Thanks again,

Hi:

It looks like the Ikea in Coquitlam is in a more convenient location? We will be coming from the ferry terminal in Tawassen.

Thanks.
