Oceanic corals

Man...

I sure miss Ocean Aquatics...

Probably the only LFS that gave JL a run for its money.

That one that used to be in Abbotsford was pretty decent too.

Definitely used to be a good Saturday going a LFS tour

I believe the changes in CITES and other regulatory parameters also make it pretty tough for a LFS to get off the ground and make money.

Even when the dollar was at par, these stores were shrinking, not growing.

Oceanic was the last one to try and it sure seemed like it hit a wall.

It now feels like were quite fortunate to have a store like JL who is so committed to SW...though even they have started to delve in freshwater.

I go to King Ed's for deals and JL for everything else.

If it wasn't for JL, I think this hobby would REALLY be hurting in the GVRD.
