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* Last edited by christyf5; 08-21-2007 at 02:04 PM.

Does that mean that Total Pet in Kelowna has saltwater? TP here just got new owners and they don't do salt anymore. The owner said they came from Williams lake where they had a lot of salt but competing in Vernon against AJ's and Complete Pet probably wasn't worth it.

*edited* Order from J&L or Hidden Reef in Abbotsford as they both have great prices and great quality! Mike at Hidden Reef has given me excellent customer service for a while now!

*edited*. I am pretty fond of Hidden Reef. I just bought my new tank from mike, along with some lighting and new livestock. If you dont want to order, then go for a daytrip. even with gas & Toll, it will stil be cheaper than buying a bunch of stuff here. Last edited by christyf5; 08-21-2007 at 02:05 PM.

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!

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?????

If you were thinking on ordering from J&L, they have free shipping over $200 right now so a bulk order should reach that.

Question
maybe you can answer a question for me. I have about 15 baby sea stars in my tank. They must have come out of my live rock, will they grow? I'm pretty sure I'll have to get rid of some as I can't have 15 in my tank. One has already split! Any info any of you can offer would be so appreciated.
