So I'm going to have to do some ordering on-line so get some supplies, and was wondering where you all do your ordering? i would like to keep this Canadian based as i would be ordering like $300 maybe more and would like to keep it duty free lol.

i've ordered from fadelle, j and l, brs, tampa bay aquatics.  just need to shop around, some things are way cheaper in the states.  i don't bother with the duty, get them to send it usps and it won't cost much.  ups charges a nasty brokerage fee to bring stuff across.  and if the price is close get it local, better service for warrenty, and it helps keep the stores alive so they can bring you fish.

I'd say stick to Canadian stores.....nothing like waiting 3 weeks for something to ship from Buffalo or Detroit because it sits in Customs while they decide how much duty to charge you. Remember if you can buy it here you will pay duty by the time you factor the delay (or losing the package altogether) with USPS and the border plus shipping and duty it's worth the extra 5-10 dollars.

You'll have to google them but I have used or frequently look at the following....in no particular order:

mops.ca
Incredible Aquarium.... (what do you think marks69?)
Box of Water
Reef Perfection
Fadelle Marine
Sea U Marine
Ecoreefer.com
JL Aquatics
Aqua Safe Canada
BWI plumbing


There are more but I'm drawing a blank (brain not working today.....all clogged from too many Guiness last night).

Someone gave me a link before but I don't remember it maybe someone can help..

It's a Canadian supplier who carries Bulk Reef equipment?
I checked it out, prices seemed pretty reasonable (compared to bulk reef)
