I'm going to have to agree with you 2pts. Leave the corals in the checked luggage. No need for any unwanted headaches or hassles. I'm sure all the vendors will have lots of experience packing corals for safe travel across the country. Can't wait to see your tour pics!

Default WOW!!!

Just got back from TO and I'm already wanting to go back for more corals!

Firstly, a very big thank you to Taipan for taking the time to chauffeur me around to tour some of the LFS in Mississauga. We spent almost all day and there were still LFS that we skipped. And that's just in Mississauga!
Thank yous to Rivers 2 Oceans, Canada Corals, Reef Boutique for your hospitality. Thank you to Alex at Frag Cave for letting me tour your home/bussiness.

And who else but Taipan could get me a tour of the Holiest of holies, Reef Raft!! Your eyes will melt to see all J has in person! I see now why Canreef sponsors get their stock from him. It's a shame he doesn't sell retail. *sigh* but definitely awesome to just be able to visit!

I highly encourage anyone who has a chance to go to TO to pm Taipan and see if you can schedule a day or two or three to tour the LFS scene with him. He's very knowledgable in all aspects of the hobby. Seriously, ALL aspects. You will not believe how connected he is!

Pics to come!!

Canada Corals. You walk in and your jaw drops. Bring a change of underwear.

Frag Cave. You know the man is meticulous about his work just from looking at how he maintains his beautiful home.

The only picture I took of Reef Raft. You forget everything once you walk past that door. You'll have to ask Taipan for the VIP access.

"V.I.P. Access" = someone being at the store as we drove by. I don't have a secret knock, handshake, or decoder ring. lol

Uhm...yeah.....Thanks for the compliment....like I need my fat head to be swollen any more than it is. . I know a lot about nothing and fake it. Stick around me long enough....you'll see through that lol

I'm glad you had a good time. I did as well!

Toronto Traffic was "extra special" - we missed a few other LFS and a very generous offer by Big Show. We missed Dave by a day. *sighs* Next time. There's always next time.
