however....
guppies and goldfish bowls are however where the money is at...
like I said, you would not believe how low the markup has gotten particularly in the Calgary marketplace. and greg, my numbers do not differentate between fresh and salt customers...I used revenues/average selling price of fish to determine a % of customers that may be saltwater, and may be freshwater. Overall, the entire thing, as a business plan usually is, was just a big manipulation of numbers. Nate

Now all Calgary needs are some of the quality corals that you see on the American websites.

Calgary won't pay for all the quality corals you see on American websites.
Who's interested in some $600 Japanese Brains? I'll bring them in on prepaid orders

On a slightly related note. A friend of mine was at pisces this last w/e and he said that he thinks that they are renovating the old saltwater area. So who knows maybe they decided to get back into the salt. Purely a rumor though. So maybe more competition.

It doesn't have to be the big out to lunch $$$$ corals, but just some different colours. For the most part you just see the same old same old everywhere in Calgary. I would also imagine if people are willing to drop over $2,000 on a BK skimmer they would be interested in a $600 brain

Unfortunately, no. I'm one of those people who has no problem dropping big money on skimmers or other equipment, but a $600 brain is completely ridiculous :P See, the thing about equipment is that it won't get sick, have a butterfly eat it, bleach/change color on me or die.
Anyway, let's see what the fall season brings. Keep your eyes on my forum over the next couple of weeks Greg
