My $.02, having been a frequent visitor of the LFS in this region for over a decade (remember Aquaworld? Cambie Aquarium with its original owner?)....J&L is currently the best source IMO (service, quality, most prices), but their product range is not as extensive as King Ed or Big Al's....King Ed is a good inexpensive source for some hardware not available at J&L and will negotiate on most items including livestock, even going so far as to show you the wholesale cost sheets (or what they allege are the wholesale costs sheets)....but be careful of livestock from King Ed, especially if they are willing to reduce the price too much too easily....a good deal on livestock that has little chance of long term survival is obviously not a good deal....and while Big Al's has a large product line, I find them expensive and (not to be offensive) but I would never buy livestock from them....Coral Ocean? I thought this was simply a front for some other illigal activities....the tank inhabitants never seem to change....I have not visted Perky Pets or Animal House....
