Because they're the nicest, most helpful guys in the Valley I'd have to say Oceanic Corals.

That they happen to have a huge selection of frags is a big bonus.

If Aldergrove is too far then J&L and Island Pets in Burnaby are always a good bet.

JL opens late, well later then most 8 pm weekdays and island pets is even later, doors closed at 9. I don't have much interest for island since their main focus is fresh water, and the salt selection is so over priced not worth the time. Oceanaquatics is a good place also. So many choices so little time.

Is it me or do the staff at J&L ignore you most of the time & then treat you like an idiot the rest of the time. I live 5 mins from J&L and I go all the way out to Ocean aquatics for everything because i get a MUCH better service from them.

I found the exact opposite. J&L always treat me well whilst OA leave me wanting. Every. Single. Time.

I guess from the sounds of it, it's a case of Your Mileage May Vary.
