zooz123 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hey everyone. I am new to Edmonton but have been in the hobby for quite a few years now. I have have reef tanks and freshwater planted tanks. I just wanted to ask around of good places where I can get lighting, Co2, and equipment at a LFS or online website you guys can recommend or have good experience with. Thanks!

nautilus Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Welcome aboard! I'm sure someone here will have the info you require. Otherwise keep an eye out on the classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I just converted most of my tanks to Finnex LED fixtures - check out Finnex.ca In town, it's hard to beat Nature's Corner for quality of plants and pricing - they get picked thru quickly, so it's best to hit them when they get a shipment in. Friend them on FaceBook to get updates. I usually pick up CO2 equipment 2nd hand, but a few people have made orders online - not sure what stores they used, tho. :welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McTurtle Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I got my regulator from Aquarium Central and CO2 canister from Oxipro. I bought my light off Ebay and it works great. Lost of people like the hydroponics places for local cheap lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooz123 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Im still trying to decide what size tank I wanted to start as I might be moving in spring. Hmmm small tank now or just get a 55g now? jvision how are those LED light fixtures from Finnex? They looked very well priced. I added Natures Corner on Facebook so I will hit them up sometime soon. I called Aquarium central and they sell a Milwaukee regulator for $129.99 and Oxipro sells a 5lb CO2 tank for $185. Are these decent prices for around here? I have been looking at the classifieds but theres not much. Also, first thing first is I need to find out what size tank I should start up?

IronChefItaly Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Regarding CO2... If your going to run a smaller tank i'd recommend something like the 88 gram Fluval CO2 kit as seen here... http://www.amazon.com/Fluval-Pressurized-88g-CO2-Kit-Ounces/dp/B004G44ZQQ Some of the LFS carry them for ~$100 and to fix the expensive canister replacements i'd do something like this... http://www.gtaaquaria.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32150 I'm currently running this system in a 26 gal tank and it was very cheap.
