Default Hello Everyone

Hi Everyone!

I'm new in to Canada & looking to build a new set up out here in Chilliwack.

I used to keep a 15 Gallon reef back in the UK. It consisted mainly of softies & LPS, the usual clean-up-crew, a bi-colour blenny & a pair of percula's.

My new set-up I want to go to a 75-100g tank.

Anyway, I've done a little search on the forums & it seems OA, Hidden Reef, J&L, Reef Addictions, Coral Ocean & The Pet Zoo are the places to go.

However, I don't have a car yet, so I can't get to all the stores I listed easily & I'll have to plan ahead.

If any can help me with some queries, you'll be saving me a lot of hassle & time and I'd be very grateful!

here goes...

Which is best for tanks/pumps/skimmers/lights etc. ?

I'm used to brands such as Tunze, Deltec, Giesmann, Aqua Medic, Arcadia, Red Sea, etc.

Which is best for fish? most variety? most healthy? value for money? etc.

I'm looking to keep percula's again with a dwarf angel, a tang of some sort & a few others.

Which is best for corals? health? variety? price? rarity?

I'm planning on mainly LPS, some SPS.

Although I do have a soft spot for yuma's!

Thanks in advance!

VJ

Welcome to the board and Canada! I'll leave the questions to the Vancouver gang, they'll know all the good places.

Welcome :-) Likewise, will leave the answering to the Vancouverites. I'm just part of the welcoming committee....apparently...self-appointed...
