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*

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!

I agree 100%

*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.
