no matter where you go in calgary. any vendor for that matter...between calgary and edmonton. Prices are so different it really is like night and day. even if you do have a big A's is edmonton...most of the time between edmonton and calgary I find for corals prices are cheaper down here by close to 30 or 40$, even if it is a franchised store...

You could also go to riverfront if you just want to look.They usualy have cool fish out of the ordinary.Oceans and awi's are 5 minutes apart.Big al's sucks for fish,corals,only good for little inverts like crabs and shrimp.

I think my plan then is to checkout awi's and OA then head to Golds, probably all the time I will have to spare.

I have a choice to make though, I will have a 5g bucket with a heater and a powerhead, and I have a power inverter in my car so I can run both on my drive back.

Should I keep the fish/corals bagged and float them in my 5g bucket, or acclimate them to the bucket and just go that route?

Leave them bagged and put them in a cooler or styro box. I tank stuff back and forth to Edmonton all the time, it's not exactly problem free but pretty much the less you mess with it the better. Ask the store to double bag everything for you to be on the safe side.
