Tropic Eden ?
 
Does anyone know if there is any place in Canada who sells the Tropic Eden substrates. I have found a place in the US but shipping would cost a fortune I am guessing.

Found out today there is only a few US places that sell it but no one in Canada sells it for some odd reason.

I am not sure what substrate this is but if it's soil based you may not want to bother ordering it into Canada as they have very strict rules about soil, and other foreign substrates, also the paper work is a pain.

Tropic Eden is just a high grade aragonite imported from Europe. Its super clean and really nice and white looking unlike the Caribsea substrates. Just got one quote for shipping from the US and just shipping alone was almost $200. It looks like I won't be getting any deals on this product if I decide to buy it from the US.

Could it be a possibility to have the substrate shipped close to the border then you could just drive over and bring it back?

Excellent idea and thanks to fellow reefer- "jhammer" I will have some Tropic Eden Reef Flakes very soon!
Thanks again Jhammer!

Or Mini Flakes as I haven't decided yet!

Did you find some? I am looking for a bag myself.

I would love to use this exclusively on my 250Gal tank but....shipping costs would make it prohibitive. I know for around 90lbs of it the shipping was over $100.

Can you track down the manufacturer and ask if there are Canadian dealers? Perhaps a group buy for a bulk load of the stuff to reduce overall shipping charges?

Just spitballing.
