Looking for good online dealer - Canada

Does anyone know of a good place to buy either supplies or livestock online, either within Canada or who ships to Canada for a reasonable price?

We've ordered from the following:

J&L Aquatics (http://www.jlaquatics.com)
Mail Order Pet Supplies (http://www.mops.ca)

Both have been very easy to deal with and their products/service has been great. The Tonga Deep Water Live Rock from J&L is amazing. See our build thread (Red House) for details.

Check this thread out for more options - http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...readid=1300571

I've ordered from JL as well......great deals! I live way out in NB (where shipping is the most expensive from BC lol) and it was still a bargain.

Do you know, are they new (the winnipeg outlet)? The site says "currently no products in this range" for zoanthids & corals.

they are stickly hardware like mops.ca which in my number one choice. I know the owner personally and the warehouse is 5 min from where I live

I went to a US site for a protein skimmer because none of the quys here would supply me with one
They seem to be all into injection skimmers when the mesh wheel ones are really preferred by guys on here
