I'm also very happy with my experiences there thus far... only bad thing I can say is it isn't the best location b/c it's too far from my house. I'd prefer a block and a half ahah

Might have to start a weekly shuttle, being that I'm out in Chestermere, and move through Calgary picking up others that want to go there. Now all I need is a bus.

Well, I have to put my two cents in now.. I have only been to Red Coral once, and that one visit was very brief, but very enjoyable. Kevin is a standup guy, very generous and just flat out amazing to deal with... always has time for his customers! They have gone out on a limb for me by helping me out with finding some new lighting a while back, MUCH appreciated! No other LFS has done this for me, ever.

Basically in short, the first time I went there, I was treated better and just felt very comforatable in there than I have in any other LFS I have been to thus far. I was amazed by their customer service and the way they run their store. Great guys, great service, great livestock makes for one great store!

I've never bought anything there and still get treated like a customer who has. The nice without strings attached nice. I feel relaxed and like I'm just talking tanks with a buddy. Always worth the drive and I will spend some coin there in the future. I would have already if some of my equipment could have been easily obtained there.

What more can I add that hasn't been said! When I started setting up my tank I visited every shop in the city and even bought stuff at a few which I now regret. I've had nothing but success following the advice I've received from Kevin and Doug and (knock on wood) have never lost any livestock I've got at Red Coral (except one small acro which my tank wasn't ready for). I can't say that about purchases made elsewhere.

You guys have put up with me hanging around alot, asking millions of questions and basically making a nuisance of myself. I feel like family now
