Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge Stores?

[vdubz]

I am heading to the Tri-cities area on Saturday. Anyone know of some fish stores I can visit?

 

[Camps23]

Living Aquarium in Cambridge always has a great selection of fish
Big Als in Kitchener is hit or miss
Aquarium by design in Waterloo is a nice store

+1 for Aquariums by design.  They are very helpful and their fish usually look healthy. Excellent prices for corals.

Living Aquarium in Cambridge my have a big selection of fish but the last three I purchased there all came down with ich and died.  One of the employees/?owners is quite argumentative and I haven't had a very good experience there.  Told me I was wasting my money going with LED for my reef.

Big Al's in Kitchener has a good selection at times and at others there are quite a few sick fish.  It's hit and miss.  I find their corals over priced.

Older gentleman??

I've had nothing but great experiences from Living aquarium, I'd say give them a shot! Various healthy corals from there, including a purple goni and a red goni, black sun coral, among other neat things!
But if not, might as well support the site supporters, as they keep this forum afloat.

No, the younger one.  The older one is very pleasant.

Ya I'v had a discussion with Steve in the past too about LEDs but don't let one opinion get in the way. He's entitled to his own too and he just happens to not like LEDs yet, but I don't see that as a reason not to go there. That aside he has been great to deal with and always has great fish, has also been doing a lot more corals lately but the prices are still a little high.

Aquariums by design has been really good so far, with a nice (but smaller) selection of SW fish as well as corals and whats nice about them is they regularly have small frags for great prices.

Just like everyone else said Kitchener BA is a hit or miss.

Aquariums by design got a shipment in yesterday so its worth a stop. Not that I work there or anything....



Sent by little green men....

Big Als in Kitchener is always worth a stop, Living Aquarium is what it is, family run and over priced but hey it doesn't cost anything to look sometimes you find that little Gem and it's under priced. Too bad you didn't have a full day to do a Toronto run, get a few fellow Reefers together and you never know probably be a blast.

 

[vdubz]

the toronto tour will be in a couple weeks most likely.  when the time off dictates...
