haha, I am a little confused.  Does big al's now carry this?

If you can order me some of this:

That would be great!

Have you tried Melatonin?  Seems to help me regulate my sleep patterns.  Available in any drugstore, without prescription (in Quebec anyways).

I think this is totally fish related.  Maybe not Big Als, but fish related regardless.

You see... when you fill up your big rubbermaid bin in preparation for a water change, and you want to be eco-friendly and  avoid wasting water.  You send the RO/DI waste water hose into the washing machine, planning for the next batch of clothes.  Turns out that you're a bit tired, didn't sleep well the night before, the kids come back from school, peace and quiet turns into a whirlwind of kiddy jokes and "she did this" and "he did that".  Soon enough, the washing machine is full.  But so are your hands... from the kids who think they deserve every minute of your life.  Oh, and that leak detector thing... ?  Let me tell you, water goes everywhere... BUT on that leak detector thing. 

So yeah... after a few gallons of water leaking all the way into the basement.... you too will want NoDoz....

Hey, at least I have a (very) full washing machine....

That made me a little more confused for a second.  I thought you were taking the waste water you were taking from the Aquarium and filling up the washing machine.. haha.. Salty Clothes for some, fresh water for others :P

Yeah, wasn't totally clear.  I meant the RO/DI waste line.  I feel bad sending all that good water down the drain.

I now know my washing machine will overflow right about when I have enough water in my Rubbermaid Brute trashcan.

OMG, the guys in the Kanata store were talking about something coming up on Friday night, but wouldn't give me any details.

Great guess!!!

March 26th.. MIDNIGHT MADNESS!  I was in the store today and there was signs up.

Looks like Kanata is going to get its shark tank back online.  Little Birdie told me 3 Bamboo Sharks are ordered for it.  They refilled it on Friday.

It was kinda sad to see that big empty tank

can't wait to show the kids those new sharks

I had you guys going for a while... :)

That's right, both Big Al's in Ottawa will be holding another MIDNIGHT MADNESS SALE on MARCH 26!!

Similar to the past midnight madness sales, it will take place on saturday night from 6pm-12am, with certain items on sale at certain times throughout the night! Make sure you know when the items you want are on sale!

No details quite yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we get them!

I think we can all assume that ALL LIVESTOCK will be on sale, more info to follow!

Are tanks going on sale as well?

Post by: Janny on March 23, 2011, 10:40:22 PM
Oh please tell me tanks are on sale too. I nearly have hubby talked into an 80g. :)

The guys in Kanata were frustrated with no flyers or details when I was in earlier this week, so I will eagerly check back here for details. *hint hint*

Here's a flyer for the stores in GTA. I'm assuming the deals here should be pretty similar like they've been in the past.

ETA: here's the official flyer from the email:

Hey everyone!

We just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out last night and made the midnight madness sale live up to its name! Things got a little crazy here, but we all had a good time giving out great deals! It was great to see a bunch of OVASers out, its always a pleasure!

I'm going to go drink the rest of last night's pot of coffee and get back to work! Hope to see you out again this weekend!
