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.

How did you take the corals on the plane? Did you do it as carry on, and what carrier did you use?

I had them in a cooler, (well taped), and labelled, and asked for them to be placed in oversize baggage which supposedly is handled more carefully and placed in a different area of cargo. WestJet assured me they would be taken care of and they were good to their word, as there was no problems.

Red coral= pwn.

Red coral is just awesome. I haven't had the chance to meet kevin yet, but i already know he's awesome. and Doug is just the best. he's like a mother Teresa of reefing, for newbs and pros.

the store is wonderful, they have awesome display tanks for both big and nano tanks, and the stock is always way up there.

i definitely know where my first ever coral is coming from

I wouldn't shop anywhere else in Calgary at the moment.

I'm also very happy with my experiences there thus far... only bad thing I can say is it isn't the best location b/c it's too far from my house. I'd prefer a block and a half ahah

Might have to start a weekly shuttle, being that I'm out in Chestermere, and move through Calgary picking up others that want to go there. Now all I need is a bus.
