Fish stores Calgary

[fixerupper]

Wow, you sound very defensive. I was not making any judgement as to your personal choice where you shop. Indeed, the place sounds sketchy at best. Obviously we should all spend our hard-earned dollars where we feel best. Believe it or not I'm in Calgary every 2 weeks and I've spent way more there than Edmonton. I must have missed where it was stated that anyone outside of Calgary couldn't comment or have an opinion. My apologies.

Sorry not the kind of visual impression I appreciate.
I chose not to give Reef Wonderland my business when they were open either, b/c when I was there you couldn't see into the tanks for the algae growing on the glass so thick it was discusting.
I am choosing to no longer give Concept Aquariums my business b/c they have chosen to make business decisions I personally don't find acceptable. That's the great thing about this forum & thread, it was started as a way for a bunch of us to discuss our personal experiences at the shops in Calgary!

my last comments weren't directed at you in all honesty! it was intended more towards Dave & as of a general reminder that this thread isn't just about Riverfront's "animal abuse/neglect charges" problems!

I am finding this thread amusing

At first, it was all about honest reviews. Then it went to bashing few particular stores. Then it became "who smokes in the shop" thread. And now it is all about speculation. With some animal abuse and inhumane news here and there. Man Naeso would have so loved this thread! Anyone knows where he is? Brad????

No kidding. Oops. And for the record I went back to Wai's a few days ago and he was great. 🙂

OK, Denny is not with Concept anymore? WTH? Someone please PM me the details.

I am planning to try to find Ocean Creations this weekend! anyone want to come hold my hand to make sure I don't get lost again between Wais & there?

You do search on google to find Ocean Creation. Then go to Streetview. Assuming that you now know where Wai's is, you can do a mockup drive from Wai's to Ocean Creation.
