i havent been able to find a single good store with some really nice variety in vancouver
i have been to jl, been to islandpets and 6 others
online seems a much better option for me i am willing to hit the 3 to 400 mark for ordering but its really hard to find one that ships to canada

If JL can't help you, I don't know what you cold be looking for.

$400 mark could be just 1 fish

Frag a lot does sell some nice sized colonies in the wysiwyg part of their site. Prices are good and ships anywhere in Canada. They may not be 4" plus but they are fair sizes. And isn't watching them grow half the fun.

I'd say JL looks pretty good from what I can see online. Is oceanic corals still around? Although, I think they do mostly frags.

In terms of online retailers, for what you're looking for, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone offering large colonies of SPS and LPS. Local shops are probably your best bet.

Also, if this is your first purchase of live goods, start small until you're sure of what you're doing. More likely than not a big purchase is just going to end up as an expensive learning experience.
