Hey Rob,

Welcome aboard.

I live near Earls if your ever heading about that way and would like to check out my 90. Wife and I sometimes eat at BB Pub, I'll message you if we head that way one day. Would love to see another Reef tank in Nanaimo.

A good place to buy your stuff is Island PEt Zone in Duncan. His prices are good and he gets nice SW stuff in.

Thanks Gerald. I checked out Island Pet Zone today, the owner seemed like a good guy, very knowledgeable. In fact, I picked up 8 more chromy's, 20 algae-eating hermits and a starfish who's main job in life will be to keep my substrate happy.

Will definitely pop by one day to check out your tank!

Cheers,
Rob Christopher

Hi there waywaywest,

Damn I'm slow!! As usual, I appear to be the last on the list, <sigh,> I think it's just us 3 {But wait now it's 4!!!!} "online reefkeepers" in town. Welcome onboard. My tank also is available if you want a look and I'll be here if you have any questions. I'm not the most advanced aquarist out there, but hey, at least I'm in town. LOL!

Howdy Scavenger, thanks for the welcome! I've been mostly using Reef Central since I started this project last August. Glad there are a few reefers in Nanaimo, maybe one day we'll actually have a LFS that knows anything!

I'm in Pleasant Valley near the Black Bear Pub, if yoiu're in the area some time give me a shout I'd love to have some opinions on my 70.

BTW, I see you're a "health care provider". I work for a company called MD Management, maybe you've heard of it?

Cheers,
Rob Christopher

Hey Rob,

Sorry I'm not familiar with MD Management, but my sister is head cook at the Black Bear if that counts for anything. LOL!

I don't want to "dis" any local LFS establishments, but............................................... ...Enough said???<grin>

So you are in the health care field too? I work for the government caring for adults with disabilities, I'd like to hear of your area as well. Perhaps one day soon a cold one in front of a tank is in order?

EDIT For: whoops, my LFS comment could be misread, My favorite LFS is IPZ, but I didn't count them as LFS as they are not really "L" to me. It's a road trip. Sorry my friend, if I ruffled your feather.

Since the BB has great food, I'd say that's a sister worth keeping in touch with...

MD Management is the financial planning arm of the Cdn Medical Association, basically our clients are doctors and their families.

Beer sounds good, will get in touch with yoiu shortly. Just spent some dough down at Island Pet Zone in Duncan today, need to get back to watching my starfish truck around the tank...

Cheers,
Rob
