Default Calgary, what's the one LFS to go to?

Thinking for corals. Heading south but won't have a lot of free time. Probably won't buy anything this trip but to get an idea for next time down.

well elite aquatics is the most southern store there is,
but i also suggest red coral and golds. golds is alot of cichlids though, but good for hardware.

For Corals Red Coral would be my Number One. Ocean City is a good place to check out too. I just picked up a rock of zoas with EASILY 100+ Polyps....for 59.99. And these aren't just run of the mill zoas, eagle eyes, green goddess, purple/blue ones and orange centre...all on one rock

For instock fish I would say Golds or Ocean City, and for corals I would say Red Coral.

It's hard to find a place that has a decent coral stock at any given time. I have not been there in a while, but Ocean City always seems to have stock on hand, but if you can find the time for sure check golds and red coral. Wais is always well stocked too.

Red Coral is worth a trip, Ocean City, and Golds
