Visit to Toronto
 

Hi everyone, I will be staying in Toronto at the Hilton (Financial District) in a few weeks, no car. I'm cool with using transit.

Any frag places you would recommend?

I'm from BC.

Thanks, Shawn.

Haha love that, that's awesome

Canada corals is definitely the place to go ton of selection

Do they take body organs or firstborn children there?

they'll just take your babey toes

Road Trip. :idea:

Almost time:lol:

Might be tricky to bus...

Canada corals
Rivers to oceans (R2O)
Aquatic Kingdom
Dragon aquarium
Sea U Marine
Reefquarium
Mad Jelly Corals
Frag box
Frag Cave

Just the short list off the top of my head....

There's some fella that makes quality Acrylic products too....like traps and racks ;). JT Acrylics. I'm sure you could pick his brain too......just a thought ;)

Wow are you reefers out here in GTA ever spoiled, great stores with great people.

Taipan (thank you so much :)) brought me to Big Al's Aquarium Services - Mississauga, Aquatic Kingdom, Dragon Aquarium, R2O Aquariums, Canada Corals, FragCave (helped me repack lighter for the Flight, thank you so much Alex).

Good Roadtrip......Good Company......
 

Always a pleasure to meet new people and help......spend other people's money. I live vicariously through others ;)

It's been asked so I 'll answer: "I get NO commissions, kickbacks, dates with their relatives from the LFS for these tours. Although......I probably wouldn't be opposed to it. D'oh!"

Roadtrip pictures of eyecandy coming up later......

Cheers.

P.S. - Special thanks to FragCave's Hospitality and taxi service and to Canada Coral's exceptional customer service.

Alex from Frag Cave is the BEST! Hey Shawn next time as red to drive you to Vaughan. It was very nice meeting you and I hope the Blue Hornets arrive in BC well :)

Next time. Unfortunately for this trip; our time frame was 3pm-7pm from the downtown core. Prime rush hour window. Traffic was....."extra special" :twised:

I was in Toronto this weekend. Thought about grabbing some corals but the traffic made me believe that they might not survive the "tour" to the hotel!

Yes thank you for bringing them into town for me, much appreciated.

Blue hornets are open and looking totally awesome!

Shawn it was a pleasure to meet you and Im glad you get to see some candy and take some with you that made the trip worth it:mrgreen:.
Next time come back with time for a BBQ and some cold ones.:lol:

Thanks Josh and thanks Red you guys are da best!!!

RoadTrip Eye Candy.....
 

There was A LOT of Eye Candy; here are some pictures as promised. Taken with a camera phone. :redface: Deal with it. Enjoy?

I'm going to be going to Toronto later this week for the Honda Indy. I'm new to the saltwater hobby so I appreciate this thread. I'd like to check out some of these cool stores!

SWEET!

We got some all-access passes to the Honda Indy also. We have a friend that is racing so we get to spend time in the pits. Woot! :mrgreen:

That's awesome! You're lucky to get all-access passes. Pit access would be an amazing experience. I hope you have a great time! It's so much fun I try and go every year!

Another successful roadtrip.....
 

It was very nice to meet fellow reefer and CanReef member: "hunggi74" this past week. It was a lot of fun watching his expressions as he viewed our GTA eye-candy. Special thanks to CanReef sponsors: Canada Corals and FragCave for being so hospitable as always. Until the next adventure - Good Hunting everyone.

P.S. - I expect pictures of recently acquired GTA eyecandy. Cheers.
