I'm going to be passing through Calgary on my way back from my Honeymoon and was wondering where I should go for dry goods and corals. I'm hoping to come home with some sps and softies.
Thanks!

Red Coral, Ocean City and Gold Aquarium's are IMO your best bet.

I agree, sometimes Wai's has some nice coral, a little over priced though. If I remember right I think a couple of the shops are actually getting some coral shipments today. Golds just got in a bunch of nice fish from Australia earlier this week. ( I was able to get a few lookdowns and a Scribbled angel at a great price, which I've been looking for for over half a year now)

Oh ya, if you're interested in SPS frags talk to Snappy. You might be able to stop by his place when you're in town.

A car works best. lol

Ocean, and Wai's are on 16th, so you dont even have to get off the Trans Canada.

Hit red Coral first, as they are in the NW, then go down 16th ave to OC and Wais

Hit red Coral first, as they are in the NW, then go down 16th ave to OC and WaisAfter these 3 just stay on 16th Ave eastbound, then down to 17th Ave SE, where you'll find Gold Aquariums.

Worth a stop (if you have any money left by then).
