Top 3 for livestock are definitely Golds, Ocean and Red Coral. (Not necessarily in the order).
The others are usually more expensive and the advice given is often not very good advice. |

Red Coral, Kevin and Doug are awesome, they will take the time to explain things and help you get the best stuff for what you need and within your budget.
Oceans is ok but he doesnt post prices and sometimes I wonder if the price is consistent every visit. Wai's is great if you want large chunks of coral as he sells you the coral attached to a fair size rock for a pretty good price. Golds is good to find fish I find the coral selection to be hit or miss. Those are the ones I do the rounds too. I also hit up Big als and Pisces from time to time.

I shop at many LFS in Calgary: Red Coral, Golds & Concepts, all are good, great people running them.
For online, you shouldn't worry if you deal with reputable ones. I myself shop at J&L, I actually just did an order last friday for some of my bulk things like Calcium, Mg, Alk, etc. Again, also very trustworthy, BEST pricing overall adn FREE shipping!!! When I order online from them, I usually have it in 3 business days.

Red Coral is my favorite: not just for reasons of stock and knowledge alone, however.
Red Coral has quite a large space, and it is laid out very nicely. I find Gold's and Oceans to be very tight inside. I'm a bit claustrophobic. Red Coral is the most "kid safe" of the bunch of them, too. There are no low and open tanks sitting on the floor that kids can reach into, and all of the plumbing is concealed. Of course, bringing my little guy in there is still a bit worrisome. But, the really big safety concerns that I have about the other places aren't much of an issue at Red Coral: though a child could reach into Zues' tank (live rock tub) at Red Coral. |
