Hanging out with the cool kids of Mad Jelly Corals, ReefWholesale and EcoTech.

What a great bunch of people. Speaking of Mad Jelly, here's one of them punks hard at work. These guys never stop working (or eating). Working and eating. That's what they do.

Thanks again for hauling me around to all those great stores guys. As I've said a bajillion times, you guys are so lucky to have such an amazing collection of stores and a great group of enthusiasts. I'm so Mad Jelly, but you already knew that.

I'm, uh, Mad Jelly you got to see all those stores. When *I* went to Toronto for a site trip, all the good LFS's were closed by the time I got out of work stuff.

I bet I don't even wanna know what cool shwag you're coming home with!

I call shenanigans .. or something...

I actually wasn't that cold at all. That just happened to be the coat I left Calgary with when it was minus 20 below there. And I like scarves. I do stick out though. Nothing new there.

There were definitely shenanigans. These guys live in a constant state of shenanigans. And as for swag, I'm pretty sure I'm going home with some crabs from Mad Jelly Corals.

So I did end up going to Ripley's Aquarium and was quite impressed by it! Yet another reason to be jealous of Toronto. I'll post some pics later.

To wrap up my brief trip to T-dot-OH-myyyy, I made a stop at Canada Corals before flying out.

I have to say, OH Myyyy.. indeed. This is by far the best reef storefront I have ever seen. As soon as you set foot in the door you immediately know that this place is something different, something special. Sure, it's just a fish/coral store, but the execution is by far the best I have seen in the business. Imagine if Tiffany's and The Apple Store had a baby and sold corals. That's Canada Corals. There attention to detail is evident in every facet of their store, their corals, husbandry and their presentation. From the posh sitting room in their reception area to their clean, modern coral beds to their well stocked, organized, and tidy product wall. It all exudes class. And on top of all of that, their coral beds were filled with some of the best corals I have ever laid eyes on.

If you live in TO and haven't made your way over to their store yet, you need to! If you find yourself in TO on vacay or business, you need to! Your mind will be blown. Consider this your warning.
