Why can't we get shiznit like this???

[Funky_Fish14]

I get the email updates for their shipments, and they get awesome shipments about every two weeks...

It is unfortunate places in the west dont get that kind of stuff in more often. RR seem to have some good suppliers down south.

Reef Raft does ship orders......

[Funky_Fish14]

Yes, but I think were trying to get at the fact that we dont have local acess to things like this at any time? We are not able to set out the door and drive a couple minutes to go to a store with prices like theirs and pick up incredible pieces, we have to get things shipped to us...?

Thats my view anyways. Im just not keen on spending 4 corals worth of money to get 2 shipped where I still have to drive half an hour to pick them up.

Just my 2 cents...

Trust me Chris, shipping would be less than the cost of 1 or those corals...

Its no different here.

We seem to be getting alot of nice stuff into Calgary, similar to what I saw on the site you posted.

What makes me sick is when I go to american sites like platinum reef and fraggle reef and see the min blowing corals they have down there

The clams are 90$ for 3-5" crocea...And the LFS only just started to bring in the sps .There's 2 store's in the whole city that sell coral...And the one with 90$ finger sized frag's only has 2.....:Ppfff what's that?

Ahh, well I guess it depends on the piece. I've seen some darned nice pieces there going for some really great prices.

I cant deny I have picked up nice pieces here or had some beauties shipped here on group orders(Thanks Jamie!), but it would be real nice to have the convenience of a location like RR around.

Yeah Its got to be nice to be able to go into your LFS and browse a selection like that.
J&L and OA are within day trip distance but with the $200 ferry ride it makes them so close yet so far away.
