LOL PG is alright but it has nothing. There is 2 store here 1 store sells there stock really expensive Example: a clam the size of a toonie for $200!!!! the other store gets corals in but there all the same. Softies and a pink color and like u said they have crappy lights so within 3-4 days of them being in there tanks there dead. I have lost to much livestock buyin local cuz alse they do is drop the corals in the water. Maybe 1x a month i get a nice coral sometimes every 2 months i get 1 but im so limited i love the hobby but i want something to be proud of have had my tank way over a year now and its bare as can be.

Strike up some friendship with folks on the board. I am sure someone from the Lower Mainland would be willing to send you up some frags on the Greyhound during the summer months.

P.S. I also share your views on PG, however I have a brother up there who loves the place.

Road trip

JK. If you PM me a list or email OA, I'm sure that something could be done about getting you a shipment of corals.

there are other reefers in PG... maybe try to start a thread and try to have a lunch together.... see what you all have and trade... arrange to pick things up for each other when "in the city"

LOL Ya there are other reefers in pg but there are funny things with that. Most reefers here have the thing like Look at me i have saltwater so that means im good and better then everyone. I have listened to a few of them here and they make me laugh. I have also seen picture of there tanks in the store and they are mostly all softie tanks and they tanks dont look well maintained. I dunno im not a guy that thinks im all high and mighty in the saltwater i just think its funny.

No offense, hon.. but the PG reefers I've met, were a great source of information and nice to boot. Trillianarm (sp?) for one, is a wonderful reefer, with many beautiful tanks (if the stuff he says he buys from down here is any indication)... I know that he happens to even take care of another reefer he's friends with, by bringing goodies for his tank too!

The best part about it, is learning what everyone 'swears' by.. and adapting it to suit your tank. Even if they sound a little too adamant with their own methods. Listen with an open mind

Your greatest resource, up there, is other reefers. (as few as there are..)

Good luck.. and post pics as you add stuff, k?

I wasn't saying they are all like that. The ones i have met where like that thou. ((Trillianarm is from PRINCE RUPERT! Not PRINCE GEORGE)) Also there is nothing wrong with softies i never said they weren't kool but its isnt what im in for im not into the reef softies. In all the time of being here i haven't met a nice reefer yet. (( PG that is )) well there was 1 guy i knew but his entire tank just crashed so he has nothing left now. For the fact that i live up here i talk to these people makin me know how they are like i said there high on themselves even the stores agree. Im not saying its the people u know up here. LOL I live here so i kinda see it. Anyways Im prob wording everything wrong and people are gonna take it all wrong so im not gonna say nothin no more. just in case but thanks to all the people on here that helped me there is good people on this board.
