    Default Where to get LECA in Canada?

    Any ideas? Local Home Depot is a no-go, and I can't find it on their Canadian website. No luck at nearby garden centres either. The nearest location I've found is a hydroponics shop in downtown Toronto, which would be an annoying day trip (shipping is expensive). The local pet shop has a tiny bag for a not so tiny price.

    Any one have luck at any major Canadian retailers?

    Hydroponics stores are about the only place you'll find it locally. You could order it from the US - see how much it would cost to order it from joshsfrogs.

    Zoo Med makes it under the name "Hydroballs", so check your local pet stores. I know Pet smart carries it, but I don't know if they have store in Canada.

    I just looked Petsmart has quite a few stores in Ontario. I assume thats where you are.

    Thanks guys. I'll be making my way near a Petsmart hopefully within a month or so, and I'll check out Hydroponic shops near it. I'll check Josh's shipping rates, the Canadian sources I found are fairly high.

    I've found a few greenhouse supply companies that will ship to retailers (I can swing that), so I might try the option of getting a sample from them (I'd also like to try it for plant related purposes outside vivariums).

    Success at last! Anyone looking for LECA in the Burlington area can head to Frank's Magic Crops and pick up a 50L bag of Hydroton brand for $30 tax included. This is about 45lbs by my bathroom scale, compare with minimum $12 for a 1kg bag of HydroBalls. Plus, they wrap it in a black garbage bag for maximum discreteness
