WOW!!!
Just got back from TO and I'm already wanting to go back for more corals!
Firstly, a very big thank you to Taipan for taking the time to chauffeur me around to tour some of the LFS in Mississauga. We spent almost all day and there were still LFS that we skipped. And that's just in Mississauga! Thank yous to Rivers 2 Oceans, Canada Corals, Reef Boutique for your hospitality. Thank you to Alex at Frag Cave for letting me tour your home/bussiness. And who else but Taipan could get me a tour of the Holiest of holies, Reef Raft!! Your eyes will melt to see all J has in person! I see now why Canreef sponsors get their stock from him. It's a shame he doesn't sell retail. *sigh* but definitely awesome to just be able to visit! I highly encourage anyone who has a chance to go to TO to pm Taipan and see if you can schedule a day or two or three to tour the LFS scene with him. He's very knowledgable in all aspects of the hobby. Seriously, ALL aspects. You will not believe how connected he is! Pics to come!!

Frag Cave. You know the man is meticulous about his work just from looking at how he maintains his beautiful home.

Uhm...yeah.....Thanks for the compliment....like I need my fat head to be swollen any more than it is.
 . I know a lot about nothing and fake it. Stick around me long enough....you'll see through that  lolI'm glad you had a good time. I did as well! Toronto Traffic was "extra special" - we missed a few other LFS and a very generous offer by Big Show. We missed Dave by a day. *sighs* Next time. There's always next time.

The only picture I took of Reef Raft. You forget everything once you walk past that door. You'll have to ask Taipan for the VIP access.

Every store had nice stuff. I was told this was the 'slow' season for selection as the stores typically don't bring in much stock due to people going on vacation during this time of year. And they have a big frag fest at the end of the month!! Doh!!

Will post pics of my additions once they've settled down in my tank. A scoly, a small clam, 4 chalices, 2 acans, a favia, and an acan echinata. All survived the trip in a Tupperware container inside my checked luggage. I put them in my tank that hasn't had any maintenance done to it during my two weeks away so I'm sure things will look even better after my wc.
