Concept is the only place in town that will sell hardware for close to what you'll find it for in BC but without the tax. The other stores in town will have prices that far exceed what places like J&L will charge so you won't find savings there. Wais does however currently have the best coral viewing opportunity, especially for SPS colonies. I think concept will have the most frags.

Stopped by yesterday, lots of $89+ colonies of SPS but zero frags, Wais has never had frags and I doubt ever will.

Golds for the prices, Concept for the people (prices on hardware will be the lowest in Calgary pretty much every time).

As said Wais has some really nice stuff but don't expect to get it for cheap.

Yah the owner is anti-frags But he does have the best coral collection in Calgary but for prices that can put even the bigger stores as "inexpensive" :P Concept and golds are two definite spots to check
