Are you still running this tank skimmerless BTW?
My husband checked around last year and he couldn't find anyplace. It is after all a very small town.

Even though my skimmer probably doesn't do much good, I started it back up any way... mostly for my piece of mind. It just didn't feel right not having a skimmer cup to clean out

Oops, forgot to mention fire extinguisher places, there has to be some of that.

I'm surprised is all, I thought Powell River wasn't, you know, that small (isn't it 20,000? That's not exactly tiny ).

Anyhow, I poked around in yellowpages.ca a bit and came up with this place, maybe you know it already, maybe they suck, I don't know. But hey, maybe they're worth a call since they say they're a Praxair depot:

Also this place might be worth a call:

Nope, both of those places send everything out of town. In fact it's Wick's that looks after filling my bottle along with all the fire extinguishers in town.

And while there maybe 20,000 people from saltery bay to lund there is less then 10,000 that actually live inside town limits



Edit, ok so I lied, there is actually 13000 people living in the town proper
