...and these guys (and gals) are really awesome!
I took a trip to Ontario, and spent last Sunday touring reef shops in the GTA (the ones that were open). I actually didn't see very many, but the ones I did see weren't very impressive from a retail perspective. I know I missed a bunch of the better ones though. I saw some nice corals and some rare fish, but I was kinda disappointed...
...then I got to Canada Corals. The space is bright, clean, tidy, and VERY organized. The staff is helpful and friendly. These guys are like OCD tidy.
I've never been to a shop that is so well displayed. The frags were all so well organized and clearly marked. There wasn't even a stitch of algae on the eggcrate racks - I have no idea how they do that.
Do you guys change it out weekly or something?
They have put a lot of thought and care into designing their store. The cleanliness and organization gave me confidence that no corners were cut, and I was buying good quality, healthy corals.
I actually placed an order online as part of a (mini) group order for Saskatoon, then realized I could stop by and pick up our order, and check out the store. Well, why not?!
They showed me the corals I had ordered, and then I got distracted adding more...
I like to choose where I spend my hard-earned cash by supporting vendors that show their customers matter. By making their store such a nice, clean place to visit, it shows they care.
I'll be back. Online and in-store.
Thanks guys!
