corals calgary (shops)

Not being negative here but be carefull when bringing corals accross the border because a lot of them require CITIES permits. All hard corals and even softies and zoas require CITIES if they are attached to coral based substrate(live rock). Your shipment can be confiscated and there are huge fines if you don't have the proper documention. I just don't want to see you get into trouble. Keep an eye out here you'll find what you want.

Once again..... SHIPPING SOME CORALS OVER THE BORDER REQUIRE CITIES.

Dude don't take this the wrong way but I have read through this tread and I have noticed that you are quick to snap at someone if you don't like there comment's. This is a public forum and peeps will post comment's any where whether you like it or not.

I live in Red Deer area but I some times wish I was closer to Calgary because I think that the price's of livestock / coral are priced just fine because the care and quality is good.

Does it just "bypass" the border then? It still crosses the border. Be it shipped which they WILL open or if it's traveling in a car..either way it still crosses the border meaning it must have a CITIES permit.

You are lucky to be where you are, there are a TON of nice LFS, and a ton of excellent reefers. I think why you may find people are a little sensitive when you throw out the US pricing is that we've all made contacts with some very good LFS's and understand the way that they have to do business. A lot of us have become friendly or friends with them...they don't just jack up prices to gauge every reefer, they sell for a decent price to try to cover the overhead costs so when you need someone they are still there to help you or provide you with something you may need. Sorry, gonna happen. Not all LFS are jerks. Just go by what other people tell you and go in and see for yourself. Then when you have an issue or question......try to contact the person you bought stuff from in the US....or hey, go to your LFS that may have even 1 person that knows his or her stuff and get their advice...and weird, you don't even have to pay for the advice, but the store owner still has to pay the employee to give that advice. It's all relative.

sigh.....they all have cities i tell the stores down there that there going to be comming to canada, have them ship to oregon and then to here the nessisary paper work is all there, everyone is just focusing on the negative, yes i think alot of the shops in calgary are over prices hence wanting to get into the reefers community and deal with private sellers, and yes, i realise calgary has alot of good stores unlike other places, but at the end of the day...no offence i dont care about other places if u dont like where u are move, stop bringing negativity on me for simply wanting to turn to private sellers over go to a store.

Dude no one is bashing you for what you are wanting to do because most of us do it our self but we also support the good LFS because without them we would not be able to get the things we want or need without them. There are some great people here but when they feel they have been rubbed the wrong way something is going to be said.
