Hello all. I just joined. Thanks for the add. I've been considering getting into reef tanks for at least a couple decades and my son showed interest in aquariums so that was the push I needed. Actually he just wanted a fish for an aquarium that he got as a gift a couple years ago and my wife asked if we can get Nemo. Lol. A week later my son got a beta and I picked up a small fluval flex and set it up for saltwater. I know it is small but I don't want to get a larger tank until I redo out basement/family room. Well that's a quick rundown of how I ended up here. Thanks for having me and thanks for reading.

Thanks. I will look into fragbox dude. As of right now I have to get on a highway and drive an hour each way just to get salt. Lol

There was a store but it closed a couple weeks ago. Petsmart is the next best. They have a small rack that was saltwater specific. No saltwater fish at the stores around me. Closest I know of is Chatham or Detroit, MI area. It is like that for many different things I'm into. Kind of a bummer.

The pets mart stores around me don’t have much for saltwater at all .
They do carry io and rc salt but they are over $90 per bucket .

I remember others talking about a few other nice coral and reef shops around windsor but can’t remember who .

Ya. Windsor petsmart doesn't have reptiles either since the city bylaws don't allow them. I actually live in LaSalle and there is a reptile store around the corner from me. I have a couple crested geckos.
I did join the Windsor saltwater group and got a couple contacts for frags and coral but no word about fish. I actually went to Chatham the other day and picked up a couple clowns. That's how I discovered that there is some supplies about an hour away.
Hopefully another option opens up around me but until then, I guess I just have to depend on Chatham or when I go visit family in GTA. One of these days I will check out the Detroit area also.
