Gold's Aquarium

I everyone, I was at Gold's Aqyuarium last weekend and was plesantly surprized at the changes.

He now has 4 large tanks of fish and corals, his usual 8 small tanks for just for fish, 2 huge live rock tanks, and a 10g nano at the very back.

If you haven't been out that way (not wai)for a while I would suggest you take some time and have a look. Prices are very good for the fish. I didn't ask about the corals.

This is the one in (or near) Forest Lawn, right? (I can't remember.) I've never been to this one. How do you get to their store? Would like to check it out sometime soon.

thanks

Maybe I am dreaming, but is Gold's not in the North on Centre St.? I guess I will look in the new phone book. :D :D

Tony,
Take deerfoot to 17th and take 17th east into forest lawn. It's on the left hand side of the road in a strip mall. Sorry I cant be more specific to where it is but I didnt pay much attention to what it was close to last time I was there.

They do have fair prices though.

Bob, It's for sure in the S.E. :D

Bob, I wonder if you're thinking of "Ocean's Aquarium" which is on Centre St. just a little north of 16th.

For some reason, I get those two places mixed up as well. Maybe it's because their names as so similar.

Whichever one is on Center St., I've been to that one, there is a saltwater section worth taking the occasional peek at..

Thanks for the info Jon, that gives me a general idea. I can always look up the specific address in the phone book if I can't find it.

cheers

Does Gold's carry Acropora?

Follow Canadian Man's directions. It's in the same strip mall as the Pizza Hut. If you get to American International (Bob)you've gone to far.

Wayner,
They didn't last time I was there and I dont suspect they will now.

Most "halfway" salt shops wouldn't ever venture in that direction, or at least they may have tried acro corals on the way to where they are now.
Good water conditions, bright light, many places don't do this well.

So I believe to answer your question, No.
Wai's, frag trading or mailorder I believe is the only way to go here in our fair city.

Thank You!, anyone know of any Reefer in the City that Sells frags? Could you please let me know, I'm always interested in buying Acro Frags.

Thanks

Just about any of us, really. :D

I've got some frags I'm currently trying to grow out (some acros and some montis). I've also got some larger pieces I could always break a branch off if someone was interested.

We're past due for one of our get-togethers. Maybe I should host the next one for October. I'll have to figure out a date. Sooo ... I guess let me just say for now, more details to follow soon.

cheers
