![]() I'd like to see simple bulk dry goods available. No one really does this in any retail store I've ever been into but I think it would be a great idea to offer no name supplements and resins by the pound for a competitive price. Every LFS has the same mass marketed garbage by Kent looking packaged and pretty all over their shelves... When all I want is this stuff:
Activated Carbon Granular Ferric Oxide Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate Magnesium Sulfate Calcium Chloride Calcium Hydroxide Aragonite ca reactor media? Others? Maybe its just a fools dream to think that people could sell this a little closer to where I live so that I didnt have to order from Eastern Canada and the USA all of the time. At least it might be worth looking into. The average new-comer to the hobby probably feels comforted by colorful labels and fancy brand names but those of us who might be interested in 'rare and unique' corals generally know better. Just a thought.

![]() T5 bulbs...maybe ATI and KZ rather than the standard ones that everyone carries. Bulk goods is a great idea as I know I would rather buy it in BC. I see more retailers in the US carrying the Bubble-Magus product (low cost, decent quality) yet no-one in Canada.
I agree that you should stay away from all the KENT, SEACHEM stuff that clutters every fish store shelf in the province.

![]() Coolio guys!
I too would like to see bulk supplies. And maybe a tank or 2 strictly for local corals. I personally could send over florida ricordea and some acans. It would be nice for us "locals" to have a place to sell our frags. |
