roypark05 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hello everyone, just moved to Edmonton and just checked out Big Al's. Very impressed! What a selection of fish and aquariums, and good prices to boot (on the aquariums moreso than the fish anyway). So I bought a 75 gallon tank from them along with a stand, glass cover and a light. Missing a filter and heater. I think I know what I am going to do for a filter, but does anyone here have a heater they'd be willing to sell me? Thanks in advance!

Guest FLIP Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm confused did you check out any other fish stores before you thought big al's had good prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Keep an Eye on the buy/sell section for a heater. I would look around and check out Natures Corner and Aquarium Enthusiast for you fish. They both have a good selection and great prices.

roypark05 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm confused did you check out any other fish stores before you thought big al's had good prices? $400 for the 75 gal tank, a really nice stand, glass cover and a light. I'd say that qualifies as a good price. Keep an Eye on the buy/sell section for a heater.

firestorm Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Depends on the lights you got with it. I think BA's is a big rip off IMO. I think I will go on boxing day next to check out what kind of deals they will have Apparently stealth heaters are now one of the best. Heard this from a good source!!

BowMaster Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Big Al's for Aquariums in Edmonton has to be one of the best when they have sales, but probably only then. That's where I bought my 72g All Glass Bowfront. Tank, Stand, Light and Covers for $500 (Half Price). Even Henry at Natures Corner admits there prices on aquariums are hard to beat. Probably why he doesn't sell them. I recommend the Visi-therm Steath Heaters, I've got a 250 Watt for my 72g and I bought it at Big Als in Edmonton.
