How many people here live in Ottawa?
 

Im just curious.... everytime I see something FS it's usually in calgary......

Or Edmonton..:lol:

I asked a similar question a while back, it seemed a lot of people in Alberta seemed to be selling systems a lot. I was advised that it may have someting to do with the oil projects and related industries, my personal belief is that it is die hard Flames and Oiler fans jumping off tall buildings.:lol::mrgreen:

I seriously cannot be the only person from Ottawa in this forum.....:( LOL!

Nope, I have seen others...be patient....:biggrin:

Ottawa ?
 

No you're not the only one here from Ottawa - I'm not sure how many of us there are, though :question:

I'm in the Vanier/Lindenlea area, where are you located?
I'm a recent Trans-Canada transplant, myself, only been here since August last year.

This board is a great resource for info, advice and help - I just wouldn't consider it my 1st resource for finding anything on the Classifieds ... :lol:

well this makes 3 of us from ottawa!

Woohoo, Pretty soon we can take over! :mrgreen:

I presume you work for the government, they take over everything.

:pound:

Don't we need representation in every Riding before we can do that? :wink:

I live in pembroke but i buy all my livestock in ottawa

Here's one more joining!

Hello Ottawa Folks,
I am just starting up my tank, buying a cheap used biocube that needs lots of cleaning and work on it. Hoping to get that done soon. Anyone have some cheat i can have?

I just moved to Ottawa from London in January. I'm in Vanier. I just set my 20L back up since almost everything died in the move and I had to re-cycle my rock. I'm currently working on a 75 gallon build too. I'm so broke! lol

Looking forward to meeting some Ottawa reefers in the future!

Welcome to Ottawa & to the neighbourhood - I'm just on the other side of Beechwood from you!
Too bad about the die-off. I've had that happen in a move, too :sad:
Let me know if you need a hand with the 75gal build.
Vic

Thanks for the welcome, Vic. We must be almost neighbours. I'm on Montreal myself.

The move didn't go according to plan and someone put my rock bucket in the back of the truck, where it sat overnight. Just one of the blunders lol.

I see you have a 75 too. Do you have a build/tank thread with the details? I wouldn't mind comparing notes. Also, how do you find the reef shops in Ottawa? I've been to Aqua Valley and he has some really nice stuff there. Picked up an acan frag yesterday.

Hi Graeme,

Ouch! How long was the rock in the truck & what was the outside temp?

When I set up my tank a year ago, the rock had been in plastic garbage bags for four (4) months without water but with some newspaper. it did need to be cured, but surprisingly, it didn't kill everything (almost tough!).

The stores in town vary and each seems to have their niche - but I agree Az has usually got good stock and v. good prices. His frag tanks are almost complete so he'll have tons of frags pretty soon, I'm sure!

I do have a build thread, but the links to it (its on OVAS' site) seem to be broken?!?! I'll have to work on that... Right now I'm trying to get my sump up and running in a city that has absolutely no stock on plumbing fittings :twised:

The rock was outside overnight, when it went down to -9 (I checked). The gravel bed from my planted setup froze solid :P. How long did your rock take to cycle/cure once you set everything up?

I was back at Aqua Valley last Saturday and he had a ton of mouth-watering frags there. That was the first time I'd seen LEDs in person (not counting the Marineland ones) and man do they make the colours pop. I'm much more excited now to get my own built.

Let me know if you discover anything in your plumbing search. I am going to be planning mine in the coming months (or weeks, depending) and will need some things. Also, any idea where to get something like a 55 gallon bin in Ottawa?

Hi all fellow people from Ottawa. I live just on the boarder in Russell. I hope it's okay to mention another forum here, if you are just moving here or may not know, our local forum is ovas.ca. I will say can reef is a more active forum but ovas is what we have locally especial for classifieds.

I'm in Ottawa :)

I'm in Ottawa, just posted in another thread about it actually.

Canadian reefers are abundant enough, but geographically we are all over the damn place.

Im in Ottawa too.

Is there any home grown SPS frag shops in town?

I just joined the club.... I also reside in Ottawa.
However, I lived in Edmonton before as well as Vancouver.
Here in Ottawa permanently.

Ottawa here as well :)

There is a guy in Alymer just across the border in Quebec that always has frags and they look great.

That would be me. :)

This is a sample of my frags. I have over 400 for sale.

Nice collection of frags I might add...
Deff a must for any Sps collector....

Kanata in the house!

Hoping one day to see a quality LFS in the west end.

Thanks!

Check out our online store for more details.

We are 10mins from downtown Ottawa.

Petawawa here, just started a 14 gallon biocube.

Did you pick up that one on kijiji for $100? :D

I think there's about 880,000 people in Ottawa....You may slap me now:silly:

I did, what a sweet deal! Up and running like a charm. Tank had been running for a few years so was like doing a small water change. Have added a couple of things since this pic.

nice! Buddy of mine was tempted to grab it.. but he didn't go for it. I saw that and said someone is going to get a sweet deal!
