+ 1 on ones listed above:

J&L
Island Pets(BigAl)
Aquarium West
KingEd
Oceanic Corals
Ocean Aquatics

+Roger's Aquatics in Surrey

Between the stores listed above you don't really need any more!
What are you looking for?

Canreef has some good classifieds as well - No one really uses kijiji in the lower mainland...(I shouldn't say no one.. just not many.. I think the latest aquarium post was like a week ago for vancouver.. I'm sure craigslist would have one from a few hours ago!)

you can also add Paul's aquatics in Surrey in old phone book under Pacific aquatics small but nice stuff there and they care so much the last time I checked they give a 7 day warranty on salt water fish...

FYI ive been to most of the above and here is my thoughts

JL - centrally located, good selection, really good knowledge on fish/corals if you speak to rena (i believe is her name) shes really smart and she wont bullshit you and tell you to buy something you shouldn't buy. shes stopped me from buy more things than she has sold me on. the only thing that scares me is they actually know my name, first and last... i think i go there to much!!

Oceanic Corals - kinda far if you live dt area. Paul over there is really nice, really helpful, really really good prices and really quality stuff. And he will sit there and talk to you about stuff and give you advice whereas JL doesn't really do that on anything outside their livestock.

Ocean aquatics - kinda far if you live in dt area. Wendell there is really really knowledgeable. So much that I went out of my way to get a return pump and my tunze's from him. Smart guy too. knows his hardware stuff.

Big Als and Aquarium West both dont seem to focus on SW so they werent as knowledgeable as I wanted them to be. I dont buy much from them.
