Calgary source for live rock??
I have bought rock and fish from Golds. The prices are excellent. Dennis (the owner)has scaled back his salt section to about half of what it was. He closes on Thursdays because his fish shipment comes in then. So for best selection you have to get there early on Friday.
I have also gone to Oceans on Centre Street. His fish selection is small, probably about the same as Golds. He does have 2 large coral tanks. To me the selection looks good, but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Tails & Scales is my favorite as I like Larry & Wanda. They seem more like hobbiests rather than a retail outlet, but they are there to make some money. Their prices are very good for fish and hardware. As for corals they had what I wanted at the time that I wanted it so... beauty again.
The best part is that they (T&S) will order or try to get you what you are looking for. It's not like the big stores that try to steer you to what they have in stock to make the instant buck.
bye for now, Kim
