Best place for supplies in kelowna?

[LeanneP]

J & L Aquatics is the cheapest I've found for everything at the coast in Burnaby and they are really big for online shopping. They are least half the price for stuff and if you spend $100 they give free shippingon dry goods (not live rock though).
Around Kelowna, Petsmart has a little bit of salt water stuff like live sand and they are cheaper. I would be careful about buying anything alive in Rutland as I've seen a lot of dead corals and fish with spots on them. AJ's in Vernon is quite a big store and it is clean but prices I wouldn't say are cheap. Petcity has very nice live saltwater but is rather pricey.
If you can make a trip to Van you might save. Good luck.

I've seen sick/dying/dead fish in all of the local stores...but also have healthy, happy fish from both Rutland and Mission stores.
The problem is that the livestock is being stressed too many times...being shipped to the suppliers, then again shipped to the interior. Also a lot of employees who really aren't experienced in SW needs. ( Total Pet is bad for this...and also the most expensive livestock )

I'm leery about buying from display tanks in a retail shop that have very visable aptasia/flatworm/hair algae problems as well....those you will be able to judge for yourself.

We definitely need a good marine/reef store in the interior !

I'm in Vernon and drive down to Burnaby every 2 months. I drive back through Kelowna.

I'm heading down next week.

I go down to J&L almost always the third Friday of every second month.

Would you be interested in bringing a few small livestock orders back with you when you go down?

I could yes, I cannot however do it for totally free as my wife shat on me last time I did that. She values my time apparently lol.

A simple thing like a box of livestock maybe $10

We would hate to see you get shat upon.
Really. Don't want to see that

If ICBC doesn't drain my account when I finish with transfer papers and insurance this week....I'm in !

I have very close ties to Kelowna aquatic supplies.
there are two decent guys. . .

Purple sea horse in rutland
and
Pet City in mission (decent price on corals)

And no, the world does not revolve around J&L and Vancouver.


Cheers. Good Luck.
