If your moving to the GTA you could move to a much better area such as lakeshore that has a night life. Hurontario and lakeshore is a really nice area. I remember in 2007 when the scene was starved for coral Jay and Jensen from Reef Raft made 25,000$ on there weekend opening but then the hobby got flooded and everybody stoped bringing in huge shipments. I wish I still lived in Mississauga

What is the advantage? You can ship corals overnight through out Canada using a courier like Fed Ex or UPS? Or is the more more to be close to the airport for importing coral?

The main reason for the move was to be close to our suppliers. That way we can replenish our inventory quick and have many more corals/fish online to offer.

We want to start shipping via WestJet whenever possible so being close to the airport is a priority.

RW is currently our main supplier for livestock. We have other suppliers for drygoods.

A word to the wise...there are a number of fraggers (small and large) in that area...if you plan on jumping on shipments from LFS like RR, NAFB, SUM etc. your in for some serious competition. (but I am sure you know this)

The market is so saturated in the GTA right now, the supply out weighs the demand. I know you are a Canada wide company, but trying to lock in suppliers from the GTA is not going to be cheap or easy ...

Being at the London Frags swap will be a great start for you guys...you will hopefully get an idea of what I am talking about

Our corals have recovered nicely from the move and will be ready to ship very soon.

We are expecting our glass on Tuesday so we can finally build our new LPS and LPS systems.

I will try and keep this thread updated.
