i was out tonight to pick up some skates for my soon to be 6 year old daughter. I decided to text Big Show and see if he had anything in that I might like, and if he was open. Turns out, Darren was there, so I dropped in. Nighthawk was there too, so it was a fun time. The coral selection for sps was a little depleted, but apparently a monster shipment is on the way, which is "ridiculous", which in Big Show terms means bring your sunglasses. The LPS there was absolutely insane, and the Hawk picked himself up some absolutely amazing pieces. I also grabbed a small but amazing clam. I have no idea what type, but it's a beauty.

The BEST part was finding out they have REEF FRENZY food, and are the Canadian distributor. Incredible food that I have been on the hunt for up here for the better part of a year. Now I have some, and my fish went berserk for it.

As Reef Keeper mentioned, I ran into him at BigShows. So THAT is what a coral selection looks like. I went with the intention of grabbing a few pieces. MAY have turned into more than a few pieces. When you have to leave to hit the debit machine, you know you're in trouble. Thanks to Dave who made sure Darren could be around as I had come from out of town.

Will 100% be back there first week in the new year when this new Aussi shipment is apparently set to arrive.

Also checked out the IDip. Pretty cool piece of equipment.

Thanks for stopping over and the nice review. I can guarantee that this upcoming Aussie shipment is a once in a lifetime shipment, I have seen my fair share of nice Aussie shipments over the years and I can say without a doubt that this one will be one for the ages!

Thank you as well for taking your fish trip experience to the Hamilton area rather then the Toronto one. I know there is always some doubts from people about a "basement operation" (I use brackets because it is only a basement operation by name/location), but rest assured you will all be more then shocked at what you see.

Thanks for your support and I look forward to meeting you in the new year.

I look forward to meeting lots of new faces in the New Year, so don't be shy and come down to Hamilton for all your saltwater related purchases :)

I must say that it is great to see all the recent shout outs to @BIGSHOW. I wish I could get up there to see his outfit myself. I see the amazing corals he brings in to the shows and can only imagine what he has sitting there...plus that display...dear god. I think he is over due at updating his build thread though ;)

Torx.

You just have to laugh at how badass it is. I actually want that size display, but a bit wider, when I do end up moving. 120x36x30. Sounds crazy, but seeing big shows, it's really not that big (hand over mouth laughing. It's huge)

But yes. @BIGSHOW has ridiculously amazing stuff.
