Default Reef Shopping in Calgary
I'm going to be passing through Calgary on my way back from my Honeymoon and was wondering where I should go for dry goods and corals. I'm hoping to come home with some sps and softies.
Thanks!

Red Coral, Ocean City and Gold Aquarium's are IMO your best bet.

I agree, sometimes Wai's has some nice coral, a little over priced though. If I remember right I think a couple of the shops are actually getting some coral shipments today. Golds just got in a bunch of nice fish from Australia earlier this week. ( I was able to get a few lookdowns and a Scribbled angel at a great price, which I've been looking for for over half a year now)

Oh ya, if you're interested in SPS frags talk to Snappy. You might be able to stop by his place when you're in town.

Hit red Coral first, as they are in the NW, then go down 16th ave to OC and Wais
