I am planning a trip to edmonton and was interested in looking at the SWS there. Please give me an idea of the best ones to visit and their addres if possible. . I usually shop at Gold's in Calgary.

I used to shop at AI, but have since gone back to BL's since there prices are better, I consider the service in both of these stores to be the same. AI used to have good service, but has since taken on the big store attatude. If you do go to AI ask for Sean he is the only one there I would deal with. Their manager Ron always seams to busy to help out. That is my 2 cents.

If your staying in Sherwood Park than AI quite a drive (opposite end of the city).

You should also consider visiting:

Aquarium Enthusiasts (Family run - Chris & Kim Hedstrom)

Dare I say Big Al's - if your into that "Future Shop Fish Emporium" Feel

I would highly recommend Reefwerkz - sorry don't have a map or anything but pm Muck on this board and get directions and address.

Haven't been to/ordered from Reefwerkz, but have heard only good things.. both quality and prices.

I'd PM muck myself...

Nope,
There are more than 4 stores in Edmonton, I'm just listing the ones I've had personal experience with.

There's also "little oceans" which is on 50st and past 82and Ave near the house of tools.

Ahhh, let's see - I think saltwater fantasies was around at one time - no idea on that one.

Edmonton isn't as "blessed" as Calgary with the population boom - so less choice for salt. If you looking for freshwater - you've got Nature's Corner, a new PJ's pet's in the South (Calgary Trail), and not a hole lot else?!

There was a store in Sherwood Pk awhile back that had SW. Forget the name but in the NW.
