racecardriver030 is president89 haha.. sorry about that guys. I just noticed
something that i wish i noticed a long time ago. Pet store retail prices are
soo much higher than online stores like pet wharehouse and Al's. I bought a
fluval 404 for about $45 cheaper (including shipping)

Doh, gotta stop changing your name dude

Anyway, did you buy from Big Al's? I've been eyeing his gallon buckets
of water conditioner, but I've seen a few posts on cichlid-forums
about how people have had problems.

My other issue with Big Al's is I sent them an email over a week ago
asking why the Canadian prices and U.S. prices weren't in line with
the exchange rate (for example, the $4 heater was $11 Canadian, which
is a lot higher than the current exchange), and if I would be able to
order in USD instead.... Welp, I never got a reply - that doesn't make
me very comfortable knowing they ignore potential customers.
