Well, I was planning to hits Gold for sure, so that's a good thing.

Feel like we're giving wais a bit of a hard time... Yes his prices are high, but he also gets in some of the neatest stuff and the best selections. Quality does vary - gotta watch the health of the system you're getting your fish from, as his 'stock' tanks (not the coral tanks) seem to go in phases. One week everythings dead & dieing, the next everyone may look great.

I stopped by there today. Really nice looking tanks, really nice looking stock. I didn't see anything that I was interested in.....actually, anything that would FIT with what I was doing or needed, but prices seemed to be pretty good. I didn't look at prices on corals much, but overall everything looked pretty good.

Only thing I noticed was a couple of sickly looking anemones, but the rest looked good.

Yes the selection is good, but be sure to be packing a heavy wallet when you go there because there are no great deals to be had there ever! The prices there are the highest in Calgary. (Up to 300% on some things the last time I was there.)

Danny always wheels and deals with me. Not sure what to make of your experience Gary. Maybe he has changed his way of doing business since your last visit. I've only been at this for about 13 months.
I do like Gold's but as someone else stated it is hit & miss. Their stock goes too fast for me to keep up with. I think it's nice to have a variety of LFS to choose from.

Same here. Danny at Wai's usually deals with me too, plus the corals are always in great shape. You don't have to waste gas

going back and forth to see if there is any stock because Wai's always has a great selection.

I was in to Gold's the other day and was honestly impressed at the selection. And some it was actually for sale...........Way to go Dennis and Albert!

wai's is always the most expensive but at the same time its always the best condition by far but for the most part golds has the best prices and stock changes fast so if you dont like what you see come back friday and its all new.
