Great deal on Canister Filters in Canada.

Check out petsandponds.com

I saved about 60 dollars even with the shipping versus buying with lfs. Shipping only takes a few days in ontario and if order is less than 200 its on 7 bucks to ship.

Thought I would share.

Big Al's has a shop in Canada too, and is very popular among AA users.

this is taken directly off of the canadain big als website. do you think they will still pricematch even though this site isnt canadian based?

Call the customer service number with the information from the other website, usually the url works, they will take into consideration the shipping and the price then beat it by 5%.
