Yeah...prices are pretty high, but Andrew the owner knows his stuff quite well and is willing to negotiate on things. He even came to my house to help me install something when I just didn't have enough hands to do it alone. I buy as much as I can local because they will help you out if you do. Did you notice the tank at the end that said "not for sale"...that stuff belongs to a friend and they needed a spot to store stuff while they re-organized their tanks...AJ helped out.

I just can't beleive Live Rock is only $4.39 from J&L. Thats like a 200% mark up. I know for a fact that some of the smaller stores in Kelowna order from J&L.

Almost all stores order from J&L. However, their live rock is uncured. That is why it is so cheap. Still a smokin deal though..

Palster, you are right about Jack.
That is his shop name. He lost money doing the selling, but not the reason he got out of it. It is more with his personal life so I have to refrain from saying more.
I had gone into say hello today, and he doesnt seem as stressed...although he misses the fishies!

Default Bulk Order?

If anyone is interested in doing a bulk order from the Coast, keep my e-mail handy jim-shel@shaw.ca

I bet if someone was going down they could bring back a bunch of stuff and even save on shipping. Now how can I con my husband into a trip to Vancouver and not tell him it's for my tank?????

If you were thinking on ordering from J&L, they have free shipping over $200 right now so a bulk order should reach that.

Default Question

maybe you can answer a question for me. I have about 15 baby sea stars in my tank. They must have come out of my live rock, will they grow? I'm pretty sure I'll have to get rid of some as I can't have 15 in my tank. One has already split! Any info any of you can offer would be so appreciated.

I will be coming back from Sask through Calgary on Sept 2nd/3rd. If anybody needs a delivery from there....Figured I should throw that in as an option for everyone.

I live in Manitoba and I mail order Live Rock from J&L. Far cheaper than getting anything here locally, and talk about good rock.
