What are your shops like?
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.

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 seem to recall some pictures showing pretty decent stores in Ontario. I'd also be curious what Bayside Corals in Saskatoon looks like since the latest renos.

The problem with us is the market isn't quite the same, we Canadians don't tend to be willing to spend quite as much as the Americans do and it costs significantly more to get things up here plus general overhead is more, restate I would guess being close to double then comes the higher cost of heating, humidity management, water and so forth. The end result is skinny profits meaning bare bones type of setups.
