WOW! we don't nearly have the selection here and you have many of each type to choose from, we don't. victoria has only 3 stores that sell reef fish & corals.

Wow nice stuff! I wish we had selection like that here.

Thats just wrong showing us Canadians stores like that, there is nothing in Alberta that can even compare to any of those store IMO.

I agree 100%, Canadians don't get the same selection. We also don't get the same pricing, and tend to pay so much more for everything to do with marine.

Err... I think that applies to just about anything... It sucks.

I believe that there was one store in Calgary that was going to become the "Reef Raft" of Calgary and specialize in high end, "Limited Edition", "Designer" / Hard-to-find corals but that doesn't appear to be coming to fruition, sadly.

I think Red Coral with its new space was on its way to becoming something rather significant in the trade but, well, we all know what happened there

i dont think the market here is what you guys think it is though...only a couple stores into nice corals.

Ask how much some of those frags are and i think you would be shocked at the pricing of the rare stuff....especially chalice....much, much higher.
