I just can't beleive Live Rock is only $4.39 from J&L. Thats like a 200% mark up. I know for a fact that some of the smaller stores in Kelowna order from J&L.

Almost all stores order from J&L. However, their live rock is uncured. That is why it is so cheap. Still a smokin deal though..

Palster, you are right about Jack.
That is his shop name. He lost money doing the selling, but not the reason he got out of it. It is more with his personal life so I have to refrain from saying more.
I had gone into say hello today, and he doesnt seem as stressed...although he misses the fishies!

Default Bulk Order?

If anyone is interested in doing a bulk order from the Coast, keep my e-mail handy jim-shel@shaw.ca

I bet if someone was going down they could bring back a bunch of stuff and even save on shipping. Now how can I con my husband into a trip to Vancouver and not tell him it's for my tank?????

I live in Manitoba and I mail order Live Rock from J&L. Far cheaper than getting anything here locally, and talk about good rock.

Yeah...when you look at AJ's, most of his rock is $11/lb and fully cured. As with anything, you pay for convenience. I find it hard to pick the look of my pieces at J&L over the phone. Even Petcetera in Kelowna will bring in un-cured rock for you if you are willing to take the time and the risk of it being lousy.
That being said, I made a good sized order from J&L just today as sometimes the price is just too good to pass up.

*edited* please no vendor reviews.


but for convenience, i think its more so, that they have to get it here too, and still make a profit off it. AJS is making a little more profit that the rest of them.

I wait till Total PET has their 2 4 1 sale, all live rock is half price. i usually get that and give it a fresh dip *edited*
