How far would you go?

Haha ok you guys have nothing to cry about.
Most of us here in PG have to travel to Vancouver for anything we want for our tanks. It's an 8hr drive. It's not the only reason we go but we must stock up on supplies when we do go. I've brought several frags from other canreef members in Vancouver area and have also transported frags from Saskatoon. So your little Sunday drive from let's say Burnaby to Abbotsford is laughable.

I'll go as far as the seller is willing to ship. Being on sask we don't get a lot of great forum sales close to us for dry goods as for livestock never shop for in winter unless it's local. And I never order livestock online during winter months

I use to drive back & forth, Thompson to Winnipeg to deliver frags and pick up new stuff.
8 hr. Drive each way.

My travelling is based on price

I'll go 15-30mins for a frag (each way), but beyond that it has to be the only place to get it

I'll go anywhere inside the GVRD for larger purchases

What dictates my willingness to travel outside a half hour is my time and my gas pig 8-12 mpg truck

Drove to Van from the island to grab my tank. Drove to both ends of the island on my dime just to help fellow reefers. For me, it's part of being in the reef community. I enjoy meeting people, seeing other set ups, drooling over their tanks. If it's more than an hour or two away, I usually like to make it a weekend of it and take the wife somewhere for fun.

Some CanReef members out West and out East have traveled to Toronto for things. I've been witness to it.

My obsessive compulsiveness (I admit it) for a good deal (because I'm cheap - I admit that too ) has taken me throughout parts of Asia, Germany, Florida, Chicago, Texas, Los Angeles. I still visit J & L when I'm in Vancouver.

Puerto Rico this summer is next on the bucket list for a good deal/find.

I did make a special trip to Barrier Reef Aquarium a while back to pick up an ORA Red Sea Pom Pom Xenia and declared it at the border of course. I have brought stuff back from HK but that doesn't count because I didn't go there specifically to buy marine livestock.

So, keeping the original thread thought in mind

So, when you see something for sale you'd like, how far would you go?

To the corner, mom gets nervous if I leave the street?

Take a bus all the way 'cross town to get me some dealz?

Go the ends of the earth to get me some frags??

How far would YOU go??
