Thanks for the tips!

Unfortunately these stores are setup for larger orders. I am looking for a few pieces worth < $5 but can't get them for less than $30 with shipping. The Rona on Macleod is good but still only had 1 out of 2 fittings. I guess this is just the nature of reefing in Canada at the moment.

I wonder if these new 3D printers can print fittings?

Weird. I paid just under $10 shipping for the plumbing parts I ordered from Go Reef.

It seemed like a good deal to me, but I drive an F250 and it would cost me more then $10 in gas to drive around looking for the parts.

Those 3D printers can print anything! I don't know of anyone in town that can do it, though.

I think they had cheaper shipping but more expensive parts. I'll take another look. Thanks!

The parts I ordered from Go Reef were a bit more costly than the other places. I still paid less in total than I would have ordering from the shops in the US, though. And, my order got here pretty quick. I'm really pleased with them.
