Hey, for all you canadians that puruse Big Al's, are there any Big Al's stores close to the Ambassador Bridge? If so, does anyone know if they carry Seachems Onyx Black Sand, and if so, how much it costs? Please specifiy whether thats Canadian or American Dollars.... This is becuase Big Al's wants 7.79 per 15lb bag of Onyx Sand to ship it to me, and I live right across the border; it doesnt seem worth it for 5 bags, (and I have called about 10 stores now, only 1 MAY have it.) Thanks all, I know I'm asking a lot, but...
 
OK, not that I live anywhere near the area... but if it's on the internet, I can find it...

Closest store to you is in London, Ontario, about a 2 hour drive from the bridge, but it might be quicker if you cross the border up at Port Huron.

Their phone number is 519-668-2752, you can call to see if they have any.
 
Hey, thanks Wippit. I didn't know the Islanders refered to the Island as PEI, just like we Americans, (who even know of the place,) call it. As I recall, when I was asked to name 3 canadian provinces on my last History Test, PEI was a valid answer... haha. It's sad to think that most American's couldnt name two provinces, and I hear most canadians can name almost all states, (more than us Americans, too.)

Anyway, theres a crossing in Port Huron? Is that the Blue Water Bridge or something?
 
Dunno the bridge, it's Port Huron on your side, and Sarnia on ours.

And yeah, we call it PEI, easier to say (and spell)
 
Alright, thanks
 
You are about 2.5 hours from the Greater Toronto Area. I think there are about 6 Big Al's / Aq. Services in that area. Worth the extra drive?
 
The last time I was at the London Big Als, I didn't see any Onyx. I haven't really been looking for it, but I can't remember ever seeing it here.
 
I dunno if it is worth 5 hours driving to save 40 bucks, its a tossup. Anyone know a way I can tell exactly the closet store to me, from the company? Their website seems to be directed only to shopping. O yeah, and you canadians- come in and check out the prices on the US site.
 
Rocketman: That $7.79 is that in Canadian funds? The bigals here wants to charge me $27/bag for fluorite.. They didn't even know what onyx sand is even though it’s been in there paper for over a year. What number did you call or get this quote from?

The Big Als in Calgary is one of the worst LFS in the city. all of there fish are sick and or dieing.. If they have fish in there tanks at all. There prices are crazy as well.
