Calgary source for live rock??
Jon, it's just a house in Shawnessy. Actually they live about two, three blocks away from me if that gives you a general idea where they're at. They advertise pretty heavily in the Bargain Finder (they have an ad every week in the aquarium section). The number is 256-9227. Like has been mentioned it is just a basement op so best to call before just going over and checking them out because I'm not sure if they hold regular-style retail hours. I second Sean's opinion of them, they seem to have nice fish but as far as corals and stuff, they had a handful, and they looked nice, but there was nowhere near the overall selection as say, Wai's. They probably could sell rock but my bet would be on a special-order type thing if you needed it in any serious quantity.
Mitch, I went to Ocean's Aquarium the week they opened. They had a smallish marine section but it kind of sounds very similar to this Gold's place in that it was more like 80%-85% freshwater. I found that it's worth a look, but not worthwhile forgoing the other usual suspects in the city and making it my first line of contact for marine stuff, that kind of thing... (Aren't they about a block away from you though? I'm surprised you haven't just wandered in there and checked it out yet :D )
