If you know anything about the scene in St. John's, I'll just say "it's the same". lol ....and if you don't I'll say Tropical and Marine pets on Torbay road is the only game in town...

Oh, there's pets unlimited too, but they're really not worth mentioning. Just to give you some idea of the situation, the only type of skimmer I can buy here in St. John's are Red Sea products

Makes a fella want to move back home and get a saltwater store up and running I'm sure the misses would love that lol been five years since I was home and when I was there wasn't anything for saltwater worth the trip

Agreed, got one of these and even on 6mm glass...not worth a dime for scraping ability.

They should be paying us to take them off their hands!

I also made the mistake of buying a mag flip, after realizing both sides sucked and not wanting to have wasted the money...I rubber band a razor blade to the scraper side and it now works great for scraping algae/coralline and I don't have to stick my hand in the tank .

Oh yeah? I'd like to see a picture of what you've got done there - we'll salvage this thing yet!

please do... I'll even help you get started. Hell, I'd partner up with you if I thought we could get in some good equipment and reliable supply of good corals. St. John's is dying for a high end reef shop.
