I have had good luck with J&L. Jeff has been helpful and if I've had any problem with the shipments they have dealt with it in a very quick and professional matter. That is where I have dealt for all my livestock.
As far as hardware goes I have been everywhere online, find best price and buy LOL. Have bought a few things from Ocean Aquatics lately and have been happy with speed of delivery and pretty good prices.
Since I found Canreef I'm definately going to start buying out of a few shops in Edmonton, should be faster and safer as far as livestock is concerned.

I have to ask, how do you manage to keep 3 different type of clowns in one tank? Any hints, as I have a pair of skunks and 2 big nems, what they are not using.
Like eventually have a pair of tomatoes or clarkies but afraid to start the war.

I originally bought 4 occerelis clowns and they did pick on the runt for the first week or so. I got a Red LTA and noone went near it so I got a sabae Anenome and they ignored that one as well. Tried the 2 pink skunks and they ignored the nems also So i brought in 2 Clarkii who loved both Nems but were absolute bullies after a couple of weeks, so I had to take everything out of the tank to catch them.
Next was to try a condi and the Occerilis ignored that but started liking the Sabae and things were peaceful. For A Bit..... Then they took out the runt Occerelis. The Sabae went looking for a new home and ended up in filter intake, so I ordered a new Sabae Nem with a Clarkii again but I made sure it was a runt. Peaceful times again. But noone would go near Red Lta
so I got a Tomato. Went directly to LTA and has never left. Clarki liked condis and Occ's had 2 Condi's to play in.
All was peaceful until I had to take in 4 new fish from a friends crashed tanks, so for some reason the Occ's killed the Clarkii. To many fish, to small of a tank. this will change when new tanks come on line.
The Pink have always stayed to one area , the Occ's to the left side and the Tomato stays in host.
I would probably not do it the same way again, but I like clowns and Nems.
Next tank will only have a pair of Gold Stripe Maroons and a Carpet Nem or a few minis.

New stock and pics
Between losing some fish to a powerbar failure and getting rid or a few aggressive Damsels the tank looks quite empty these days.
Trip to Edmonton yielded a few of Dez's frags and some nice fish and LPS from Shannon, Taylor at BWA.

Pugley My Bicolor Blennie



Regal Tang from BWA, and a couple of Dez frags. Waiting for a new light as mine is not up to the job and frags aren't looking very healthy ATM.




Feather duster from BWA, it vacated it's home and attached itself to my powerhead base.



FTS



Scoop doing what he does best, spreading sand everywhere.
