Edmonton Tangs ???

Just wondering who in Edmonton presently has the best selection of Tangs in stock at reasonable prices? Also who has the cheapest prices for pails of salt as its time to stockpile some pails. Unfotunately I will be missing out on boxing day sales in Alberta this year

livestock depends on what tangs you are looking for... and price of salt depends on the brand of salt you use.

I haven't fully made my mind yet on what kind of Tang.
Coralife is what I use for salt.

Any place in Edmonton sell par meters by chance? I was looking for a used one but impossible to find used so it looks like I will have to buy new one. Looking for an Apogee with the MQ-200 sensor.

best bet is to google the tangs you like and then call around for pricing.... all stores should have a general idea what they charge for them....

as for coralife salt you are looking between 50 and 60 usually

If you considering the Acanthurus species here are the ones to avoid.

If your large tank (6 feet) is in progress you can decide and buy now. If it is just a plan I would wait until you actually do it as things come up (family and financial issues for example) that force you not to proceed and the tangs are stuck in a four footer.

All LFS order through importers. It is important that you choose a good LFS rather than one that happens to have what you want.

The reason is that it is easy for you just order the size and you want and the LFS will be happy to order the tangs for you and they will come in with the next order from the area. A couple of week wait. They call you when the tangs arrive so you can cherry pick the best ones.
