Just starting this hobby. Looking for stores in the lower mainland which have a good rep, and of course excellent prices!!

I live in richmond.

Thanks Daniel

Ocean Aquatics is 15 min from you on river road in delta.
King Eds is on kingsway close to new west/burnaby boarder. J&L is on lougheed at gaglardi. Big als has salt as well

I have only used JL Aquatics by mail order but they have a huge selection and really good prices. The Big Al's here in Edmonton is way over priced on all dry goods and usually livestock as well but they come up with some pretty good sale items now and then.

Big Al's must of changed hands they changed the name and are now selling Dog food as well.

Big Al's has been changed to Island pets. Grant the owner got rid of the franchises.

I find Ocean Aquatics has the best coral by far.
They are also not into keeping fish that have little chance of success in reefers tanks.
Their pricing is good as well.

Try Roger's Aquatics on Scott road in Surrey. He doesn't have any sps but his lps tanks are beautiful. I got most of lps over the last 15 years from Roger, some sps from j&l and ocean aquatics.
