Canada Corals in Vaughan has a good selection but it's in Vaughan, it's almost worth the $100 postage not to have to go there.

Most major US suppliers, such as BRS, ship into Canada but the delivery charges are high. Waterbox is one that does not. You may want to have items shipped to Niagara Falls NY and pick them up there.

thanks! Hoping lot of the stuff we see on you tube and don’t get this side we will be finally be able to order on that side!! Maybe even convince Usmaan to take a road trip to one of those exhibitions! Spent numerous hours watching BRS... going to be sad shutting the current one down! But have pitched the idea of starting one up there already to my other half! One of the first things to do 😉

Hmmm, one could make a reasonable argument that, at a time of financial strain, dropping ten grand on a tank for a rental property might not be entirely sensible.

We did manage to move an 80 gallon FOWLR tank between houses, It didn't go ideally well. I wanted to preserve as much water as possible and so filled two five gallon buckets from the tank ( the idea was 10 gallons each weekend over the month we had both houses). We put them in the back of a rental truck and drove here. It was a Chevy Silverado because that was what they had. On the way it snowed and the truck wouldn't go up the driveway so I had to carry each bucket a quarter mile through a three foot snowdrift. Water is heavy!

https://britishexpats.com/wiki/Renting-Canada - includes a list of websites for rentals

Do make sure to check out: https://www.ontario.ca/page/renting-ontario-your-rights

Watch out for scammers - if it seems far to good / cheap to be true, it probably is.
