Kelowna Fish stores question

Oscar,

Yes, they build a dedicated shop out back for the tanks. its quite nice, and that to me shows dedication, as they do not make much off the sales. They are in this for good and well being of the hobby. Randy is very knowledgable about the equipment and majority of the livestock. The only down side is, they may be closing the doors and going to apointment basis only, due to some Jackass, who thought it would be funny, apparently poured some perfume or other toxic chemicle into their reef tank causeing the loss of thousands of dollars in fish & Corals.

On the other hand, they are always helpful, and i find them Cheaper for many things.

Rock @ RK, is 8$ /lb AJ's is 12$/lb
chromis $2/15 AJ's is 19$ each
many more examples, but clearly if your in the kelowna area, Reefkeepers is the place to go. for now.

Thanks Cav. I will be in Vernon later this week. I am hoping to visit all three to do some more window shopping.

AJ's has actually got a little more competitive over the last while. Their rock does range from 8.99/lb to 11.99/lb depending on what kind of rock it is. If you are starting a tank and you buy 50lbs or more, they cut it down by $1. Keep in mind that the rock is fully cured versus J&L where you need to cure it. This is turnkey.
On dry-goods, if you try, they will negotiate.

As for knowledge, Andrew is pretty good and the girl that runs the tanks for him is okay too. When I've had questions, Andrew has shown up at my house to help out. They are hoping to do a reno where they would triple their fish section including salt. They have 12 Salt tanks now.

Complete pet's Manager is Sharla and she is very knowledgeable. She's an avid reefer as is her husband. The store is not great for in-stock Dry-goods but she'll order just about anything for you. They are trying to slowly expand their salt tanks but with the level of staff available out there, they've seen a few mistakes made that have cost them entire tanks of livestock.
They are worth checking out though
