Hmmm haven't been there yet, perhaps I'll give it a try when my tank is setup.

Is there any chance you guys could make an ora fish order? I going to try and make my tank 100% tank raised... perhaps a pair of the ora banggai's?

I agree, stopped in there on my way back from my Honeymmon with my wife in Oct. EXCELLENT service, willing to answer questions and even threw in a free frag! Ive alredy recommended him to a few people. My brother in law will be stopping in at the begining of january when he is passing through from a wedding in Banff!

I concur, excellent service. I stopped there during my last trip to Calgary and spent far more than I planned just because of how they treated me.

Yup. Kevin and Doug are great people to talk to, and they are working very hard to bring in the best products and the healthiest corals and fish. It seems like every time I'm in there they have another new product in. Hands down they have the best selection of SPS in the city, and are more then willing to try to special order things for you if they do not have it in stock.

Aw shucks....my face is all red. Its already been said that Kevin and I were and are hobbyists first and foremost. We draw upon our experience and the experiences of thousands of other reefers around the world through this and other forums. We use those experiences to make our decisions about what we would like to bring in as far as dry goods and other equipment is concerned. It has been a constant search for the right supplier for fish and coral. Trying to find the best quality and selection has proven to not be the easiest task. We are just now starting to get through the initial growing pains and thanks to all you customers that have helped us through it. We feel that we can take the Calgary lfs to the next level, somewhere between the "big chain store" and the two man operations.

Thanks for all the compliments.
Doug.

I was in Calgary a couple of months ago and went to Red Coral just to have a look around. After browsing the store, I introduced myself to Kevin and we had a nice chat about all things salty. Very nice fellow, and very nice store. Great selection of healthy fish, corals etc. To make a long story short I bought about $400 of corals. (Can't help myself). Kevin did an excellent job of packaging for me as I had to take them home on the plane. All corals made it home in great shape. All-in-all a great experience and I will definitely stop in again when I'm up that way.
