New LFS in Langley

[ashr]

I will have to check this place out when I hit the mainland again.

I really wish Victoria had a full reefstore. I find the ones here are a bit out of date and older. Oh wells

Was in there earlier this afternoon and talked with Eric the owner for a while. He comes across as a decent guy that seems pretty humble in goals for the store. Grew it from something like 6 tanks almost two years ago to his, I'd guess like 50-60 tanks currently? A lot of Cichlid varieties for the freshwater people.

Salt was very much a work in progress, there was almost nothing left in terms of livestock as it's been selling very quickly he said. Also planning to get a display tank going near the fish area entrance, and judging by the skimmer it should be a fairly large tank.

If you're local, probably worth checking out when his livestock shipments come in. More options are always good.

Went in there today. No corals yet, order got pushed till next fri or sat. Tons of nice fish though.

This place is more island pets and less jl aquatics.

Speaking of new fish stores, the Abbotsford store Pet Lovers has moved across the hall and they're expanding the salt section. Right now they have the same amount of tanks but they've set up probably 10 more big salt tanks and once they are all cycled and settled they're going to start ordering. Looks pretty good, was there last night.

Is that the one in seven oaks or whatever that little strip mall is?

They aren't fancy, but you can tell when you go in there they definitely have some staff who care about the tanks.

Some nice stuff, I assume from trade ins, from time to time there and sometimes pricing is even better than in Burnaby.

Ya in teh little mall with London Drugs. Been really happy with my fish from there, all really healthy. Coral prices are really good to and sometimes they have some cool peices I haven't seen elsewhere. I like it.
