Burc has mentioned he has 4 employees that pack the orders for him and deal with other stuff.

I'm happy with all my fragalot frags.

I have been to his place numerous times and all I have ever seen is Burc. He has a small operation with not many tanks.

Maybe he gets some friends and family to help bag large orders (or highers the kid down the road), but there is no way he has full time employees.

ah ok that could make sense, i know when i called last i got the feeling like it could have been a son or something lol


coral master is def a great guy to deal with hes on top of my list for sure but does only sps if he went into zoos and other lps more often i think he could be th best in the country, over all theres not a lot of online business to choose from.

even the stores here in calgary do not offer $10/frags , if they do its common stuff or bland so its priced low to sell.


like i said im not the biggest fan of burke in the world but ive gotten better service now then i did years ago. ill admit business is not burcs strongpoint ...but then again most lfs owners are hobbysts and not salesman

I hear ya there. There is not a lot of places that have Zoas and other LPS. I think this void in the market will be filled very soon. I have noticed a number of small farmers in the GTA that have been picking up the slack for these types of Coral.

ive been trying my best to do the same for the folks here in calgary but the small amount of frags i make doesnt cut it and i get cleaned out reguarily, i talk to the lfs here in the city about making smaller frags....none are interested , im hoping that will change soon

Too bad for them and there customers. I honestly think that mentality will start to change in the next few years.

ON the plus side you are able to make back some money and purchase more beautiful corals
