If a store was like that in the UK it would last a week and most suppliers would not supply them.

Another store recently opened up locally with the same euro/UK clean looks, good to see its catching on.
I laughed when I read this, but I have to say I was a little weirded out going into CC. Just because it is so different then any other reef shop I've ever been to over the years. Still dropped a few hundred on some nice corals though :)

Very impressive set up, I'd be a kid in a candy store if I lived within reasonable driving distance. :thumb:

My first hour in there would probably be spent admiring the setup itself.

I wish I was still in the military just so I could get back to Ontario for a side trip to this shop. I am extremely impressed and will make a point of visiting if I get back that way.

Quick little update:

We decided to go backwards in technology and remove the GHL Mitras LED's from our SPS system and replace them with ReefBrite Hybrids instead. These are single ended fixtures using 400w 20K Radium bulbs. They are also supplemented with four 72" ReefBrite XHO led strips.

The power consumption is over double that from the GHL Mitras and heat is already an issue that we will need to deal with soon (chiller) but our SPS corals have never been more colorful. :mrgreen:

Note: The tanks are perfectly level. The Tunze wavebox makes the tank look un-level.

Very impressive set up, well done! I'll have to stop by for a visit next time I'm in the area.
