![]() Too funny lol not sure if they are getting salt anyways. I just think in general their customer service should be good. I'm really hoping with two good options for pet supplies where you can get good service people will just stop going to Kootenay Critters. I'm still going to try to shop at Petopia unless I get a job a TP then I would get a good discount

![]() So...I went into Total Pet here today....and the manager (Chris) I think his name is, said they will be doing salt and stalking supply's for it as well.....he did ask what all we wanted him to bring in for inventory.
I told him maybe to come on Canreef and start a thread to see what all everybody wanted, don't know if he will or not but did seem eager for the reefing community's bizz. |

![]() Yeah I will never shop a Kootenay critters for saltwater I have had a few tanks in the past in Vancouver (where there are some amazing lfs) and I was thinking about setting up a tank again. The guy at petopia has told me many times that he could get stuff or was going to be bringing salt water in but nothing so far. As far as kootenay critters goes their customer service sucks and their prices are ridiculous, a customer had torn down their tank and returned/sold all of their livestock and equipment back to them. I have a tank, lights, heater, etc... and inquired about how much he would charge for the LR he had just obtained from his old customer, he told me 35 dollars a kilo! I know I'm not in Vancouver anymore but 16 bux a pound for poorly maintained algae covered rock you have to be kidding. Anyways thats my rant. I have talked to both managers at Total pet and they will be bringing salt water in for sure, it will probably be in the next six months. They do have t5 retro kits now and I was there yesterday and they had a couple of nice tank/stand drilled setups with t5 hoods (one corner bow and on 50/60 gal maybe?). I'm looking forward to either of these stores bringing salt water in because until then I can do nothing as I will never shop at Kootenay critters.

On a side note, Petopia's marine tanks are being worked on as we speak. Or should I say, the planning has gone forward to actually get the display up and running. If all goes well there should be water in the system shortly.
