Coral Island - the shop owner is really nice, its a bit smaller than reef raft and doesnt have the big $$ corals but still fun to visit.

I think there are 2-3 other good shops that I like to go to, I will try to take pics in the next week or so and add to this. The ones I posted pics of are the shops that are nicer and more coral oriented. Almost all of them were within 30-45 minutes of each other (without traffic on the freeway)

Wow some killer frag racks . I don't personally have any photos of the local shops . I'm sure someone will chime in though. How ever I can hit every shop here in calgary within hour or two, they are pretty condensed in location.

Next is Sexy Corals, this shop always has nice corals posted online, the shop itself though never seems to be really well maintained... but again a nice shop owner.

I had a chance to stop by the Aquatica shop while down in San Diego and was pleasantly surprised. The shop is super-clean, the coral is all really healthy and there was a large variety of coral- the sps selection was very good! Prices ranged from 10$ up to 300$ depending on size and type. Dave the owner was really nice and walked me through the equipment they are using and the types of coral they are stocking-
IShop is lit by LED's and I took these pics w/ the camera on my phone. They make their own water w/ a 1400gpd RO/DI system, all setups are simple, bio pellets, skimmer and UV so the tanks were super clean- I didnt see any pests or bad algae. They also quarantine all of their fish before allowing them to be sold       Last edited by Cymaster007; 04-11-2013 at 05:14 PM.
