Hi I am from out of town and will be in the lower mainland next weekend. I am looking for Local shops that carry fish and corrals as well as equipment. I know of J&L Aquatics and will be stopping there but on the Sunday before driving home I am hoping to not have to drive all the way back across the Portman.

Any Ideas would be great
Thanks

Chris

Take the Alex Fraser or Patullo bridges, they are free.

Yea I am not worried about the toll for the bridge. Its the time related to going all the way back into to J&L. I have to travel back up to PG on the Sunday so leaving J&L at 1pm (they open at 12pm) ends up getting back into PG between 10 and 11pm depending on traffic.

King Eds is also in Burnaby. Buckets of salt always seem to be little cheeper there.

King eds is redoing a bunch of their plumbing now and may not be worth the trip at the moment.

JL aquatics is the only game in town really.

They make the most of it and should be worth the drive.

You're better off to arrange to see a few local reefers than plan any kind of lfs tour here though.

Pm wheelman for example.

Guaranteed you'll want to bring some things he's got home.

The Patullo bridge is undergoing closures and single lane traffic. The Alex Fraser was crazily backed up Saturday afternoon. If time's an issue, I'd take the Port Mann.

+1 and +1.

So on Sunday, you are on the East side of the Port Mann?

For corals go hit up Ryanerickson, and for fish go see Kevin at Net Caught Marines Direct (FB). Both are in Surrey.
