Best frags?
 
Hey everyone. I'm going to be in Calgary in about a month, and I'm curious which are the "must see" coral places in the city? I'm from Brandon MB so most of my coral I bought a 3 hour drive away or online so I would love to see what Calgary has to offer!
Thanks in advance

Hit them all if you can, everyone has something different usually. Concepts or Denny actually ), Ocean Creations, Wei's, Golds & even Big Al's.

If you are an SPS guy, check out Snappy aka Coral Master. (www.coralmaster.com)

The Grizz 01-08-2013 04:34 AM

I was just gonna say "How'd you forget Greg!" Tsk.:razz: Hell, I think CoralMaster is the only reason I'd ever go to Calgary :twised:

Not just SPS, he got great LPS too!

Thanks for the endorsement you guys, much appreciated.
Yeah if you have time give me a shout when you're in town.

molotov 01-08-2013 04:14 PM

If you want the best, Coral Master it is.

NanoReef 01-08-2013 04:58 PM

Thanks guys! I will have to see if I can find all of these! And coral master it is! Tell me, are you open weekend at all?

+1 to this. I got a little head of frogspawn off him a couple months ago. Thing is the size of a soft ball now and beautiful.

Thanks Matt
I will have well over 40 lps mother colonies and
hoping for over 200 frags of collectors LPS

Cheers

NanoReef 01-12-2013 05:34 PM

Awesome snappy thanks! I will call you for sure. And caco3reef, are you around on weekends? I would love to see your LPS collection

NanoReef 01-20-2013 06:01 PM

Alright so I contacted snappy and unfortunately he is going on a nice warm holiday while I'm in the city, so he's out. I have found concepts, ocean creations, and wei's sites and got their phone numbers and business hours. Golds is apparently not open weekends according to their website so I guess they are out. I also have called caco3reef and haven't had luck getting ahold of him yet but hopefully I will get ahold of him by the weekend. Is there any other places I should hit? I am a big zoa/paly collector, also Acans, and a bit of SPS as well. Thanks for all the help guys! Can't wait to see what everyone has

riceboy 01-20-2013 06:08 PM

Golds is definitely open on the weekends they are closed on Thursday. It's to bad your not in Calgary this weekend cause concepts has thier 10 dollar frag sale going on.

NanoReef 01-20-2013 06:12 PM

Damn! That woulda been nice to see. Oh well, hopefully he still has some nice frags left when I'm in there. I don't mind paying more than $10 for frags haha and golds website says they are only open Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Probably old info so I will give them a try too! Anywhere else I'm missing?

riceboy 01-20-2013 06:23 PM

Not really except big als or people in Calgary, Levi (zoa elite has tons of zoas and collectible ones) or Denny is another zoas collector.

reefwars 01-20-2013 07:01 PM

Open today 11-4 at concept aquatics, all zoa frags $10 some sps in there too for $10:) 3650 19 street ne bay 8:)

NanoReef 01-20-2013 07:37 PM

Damn I really wish I was in the city this weekend!

eli@fijireefrock.com 01-20-2013 07:46 PM

It was awesome to meet you Eli! Loved seeing your tanks and i appreciate you letting us come check it out. The frags are lookin good in my tanks. Also, it was great to meet Denny too. The Achilles is looking good in the QT tank. After shopping in Calgary for some nice pieces, I can't wait to move there in 6 months!

Sounds awesome to me man! Would love to get my hands on some of the stuff you have. Thanks again for everything. And I will be sure to post a picture of the Achilles when she hits the DT

Skimmerking 01-29-2013 01:08 AM

yes the Achilles booo hoo I missed out on it

NanoReef 01-31-2013 03:10 AM

Denny I wanted to update you on the Achilles. I have been feeding her every day in QT just to see what she would eat. She fluently eats mysis shrimp, blood worms, pellets, and nori without hesitation! She's an amazing looking fish and I'm pumped I finally got one
