That's what they said back in Dec, which is the last time I was in there. I was a little skeptical, when the guy there tried to come across like he knew it all and thought it wasn't going to be a big deal to get the salt water stuff set up. He had a bunch of tanks and equipment from Ocean Aquatics and was just waiting for some electrical work.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Well, heaven help any SW newbies that might go in there. Would be nice, though, to have a proper SW LFS in Langley. But will just have to wait and see if this one can get it together.

Haven't been in that Petland for quite a while either. Their SW stuff didn't look too good either, and very expensive.

Paul and Albert in Aldergrove are still the best LFS for this area.

Default Petland

Went there today as well and yeah it's expensive but everything looked good. No complaints, they actually had a scooter blenny I really wanted just a baby for 14.99$ which is very decent. The guy I was talking with knew what he was doing they had a few nice corals as well

Have you tried Pauls aquarium ( aka pacific aquatics) in surrey?
Very good prices on fish and supplies, not to much selection on corals but he is working on it

Not recently. It's a little farther from where I live (Murryville part of Langley), but do try to drop in there, too, if I am in the area. Usually, if I have to go that far for something, will make a trek to J&L and King Ed. With the freeway, and no more Port Mann back-ups, can make it to J&L in 1/2 hour now.

if you live near murryville Oceanic Corals which is on fraser highway and around 272 is a good place to get your stuff. Paul and Albert knows their stuff. I hang around there as well on Sundays
