I've lived in Gibsons for a couple of years but Sechelt for the last four
My husband grew up here, but I'm from way up north (yellowknife) I've gotta say that winters here are a heck of a lot better than where I grew up!!!
Do you keep Africans? I used to have a big tank of Tanganyikan and Malawi cichlids, beautiful fish!!
J&L usually sells the sea hares for $20 or so and if you bring it back I think you get a $10 store credit, pretty good deal, my sea hare did such a great job, just be sure to drip acclimate them slowly and pass on when he's done
Also, if your powerheads aren't covered be careful as they have a habit of wandering into them, mine never did with my koralias but you never know
