If you want ma and pa service then shop at a ma and pa store.

Then I don't know what LFS you deal with (actually I probably do, but won't mention any other names here, tired of being beat up by you all). I have spent probably close to $20K on fish stuff over the years (mostly locally) and find my LFS are generally inline with online presences. If you don't see that, then you need to find new LFS's... Any LFS that isn't inline, will usually match prices like JL to get the business... At least for me they do.
I can recommend one in Calgary if you need it... An no, it isn't Big Al's... And before you all bash me on this statement. Shame on me, I should of just ordered it from him. Oh well.
Boy I can see why sponsors like Oceanic Corals left.... comments, attitudes and ignorance like this makes me want to bash my head against a brick wall...
I think I am done here, take my experience as you wish all, have fun... If you choose to buy from Big Al's, again I say DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
