Yes it is isn't it Kidding aside, I hear from my customers there are a quite a few great stores throughout Canada. Difference about me being in Toronto is that I am dedicated to shipping, frags, fish and and colonies. The majority of my sales are online and shipped throughout Canada.

Also, it is worth noting that I would be able to get these at a reasonable wholesale price, and sell only within Canada.

Clint - feel free to post a pic of your rhyzo in this thread! Dave

If I had a really high end established tank I would consider it but with just a basic 72g reef tank I probably wouldn't. I would be more inclined to invest in equipment to upgrade as neccessary....Down the road?? Maybe.

Don't knock a 70G size tank, you can accomplish some spectacular things with a small tank with affordable equipment. Some of the most memorable tanks I have ever seen are in the 70-120G range.

You listed colony prices, but not frag prices.

I probably would not be interested as I have a hard time buying corals without seeing them myself. Every time I have ordered corals online I have been disappointed because people describe the corals as being better than I think they are (when no photos have been provided), or the photos are taken under 20K lighting which I think is cheating, and then I really never know what to expect. But I know it will suck in comparison to the picture. LOL!

You are also waaaaaaaaaaay over in Ontario, so shipping is expensive on top of the already high prices of the corals that may or may not make it through shipping and acclimation (they usually do though). Even though some people in Vancouver do the odd group order, no one in my area does! So I have to talk someone in Vancouver to add me to the group order and then ship my corals on to me. This also means the shipping is twice as long for my corals, and more expensive for me.

So...in order for me to jump on the wagon, it would have to be one stellar coral at one stellar price to entice me badly enough to order it from you.
