I'm in London too (sort of north-west end) and wouldn't mind some new LFSs too. Oakville Reef Gallery is the only one I've been to in the GTA since I don't have a car (it's a 10 minute walk from the VIA station :P) but it was full of gorgeous corals and they're quite friendly.

I had no idea there was a LFS in St Mary's.

Hey MrGoodbytes! - I am in the North East End (by Sherwood forest mall). My parents live in Oakville as do my kids' godparents so we make the drive every few months. I got some fraternity brothers in Kitchener which have an solid Big Als location though equipment selection is limited.

I placed an order for some lighting equipment with Reefgeek that i will be paying for/having shipped next week. If you need some bulbs (saw you tank thread) place an order with them and have them shipped to the border (look up US Shipping port Huron). I am going across to port huron in a few weeks to pick it up, you can tag along and grab your order if you want as well. THere is a BRS group buy somewhere on this forum as well - you can do the same with them, i have stuff at hte shipping place already waiting from BRS as well

Hey phi delt,

I may get in on the group buy if there's time but I have to make sure it's in the budget :P. I do need new lamps though...

Thanks for the offer on the border trip too. Unfortunately, I don't have a passport right now so I don't think I could tag along. Which place do you ship it to in Port Huron? Doesn't BRS already cover brokerage trans-border shipping? Sorry, bit of a n00b when it comes to ordering from the States.

BRS charges 15% which is the taxes plus some of the brokerage cost (they absorb the rest) - the shipping fees are usually around 20+ dollars on top of that. Shipping to the border is only like 5-10 bucks (slow ground but usually only takes a few days). I just drive over and grab it then bring it back. I did it with a set of $2000 rims for my car. Saved 600 bucks
