Looks like Red Coral is surely missed! I used to like stopping in when I was on my way through Calgary once a year or so.

If you take a wild fish and add ti to your tank,you risk killing everything. I also learned this the hard way. The sick fish could have gone to any retailer in the country, just bad luck it ended up where you went shopping that day.

+1.

Haven't been in Franco's for years but they were strictly FW last time I was there.

Wais sells Pacifica plankton, but call around and see first. The big box stores don't carry it.

If you want awesome coral frags check out coralmaster.
Di resin and carbon give Eli a call (caco3 reef).

The new location was pretty convinient and central for a lot of people. In addition to that, the layout was good and there was a nice selection of stuff that a lot of places don't carry. It is terrible that it is gone.

I'm really optimistic that between, Dave and Denny, Concept is going to fill a huge void when the storefront is officially open.

Big Als has stepped up their game quite a bit as well. Worth a stop I think.

I agree +1... Andrew is doing a great job there. Great fish, that others don't have and overall pricing is also good on livestock and coral. Dry goods still pricey, but I find they will dicker a bit.

Does anyone know the store hours for golds? I'be actually never been, twice I went there and they were closed.
