Ont to Calgary roadtrip - what is the best reef shop?
 
I am going to be in Calgary this Friday and I was wondering what is the best reef shops to visit and where are they?
Thanks Liz

Most of the reef shops I have been to are located in a "circuit" in the North East around Deerfoot and McKnight, then down to 16th Ave.

I've been to Pisces, Concept, Big Al's, and Wai's.

I would definitely recommend stopping by Concepts.

I'd recommend Wai's and Reef Wonderland as the two best coral stores in Calgary. In terms of livestock you're probably best going to Pisces or if you're desperate Big Al's.

I would say dont forget about Golds on 17th SE for surprise corals.
Ocean creation and wais for fish.
riverfront aquariums for inverts.
Ocean Wonderland for coral.
Concept for coral Frags.
Pisces and Big Als for dry goods.

Ok, thanks. I think I will be stopping at Concepts as I am interested in the frags.
I don't need any equipment. I noticed a lot of the sponsors on here are from Ontario?

I would hit wais, concept and reef wonderland. Stay away from Golds, the coral looks like its dying.

Based on what? Oh it must be the cramped dirty tanks and the bleached out corals. Oops sorry.
