Check out progressivereef.com - they're located in Victoria and have prices comparable to J&L Aquatics. If you're looking for something they don't routinely stock just let them know what you want and they're usually pretty good about getting you a quote.

J&L Aquatics
Mail Order Reef Supplies
Aquarium Obesessed

Several others as well.

I've purchased from all of them and they are very reliable and responsive and much better than Big Al's
