• Just wanted to weigh in on Aqua Imports, and other colorado reef retail stores, I live In the area and have been all over colorado looking for corals. Aqua imports is an awesome store, recently alot of work has been done do improve the systems and alot of rare variety can be found there, Mike the new part owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, some people may be intimidated by someone who knows more about something then they do, not sure. The only down side to aquas is that it is a retail store and some is overpriced, dont try to haggle with these guys either, If you tell them you can get it cheaper they say do it then! and I pretty much do although some awesome sps frags can be had cheap in the back in thier serge propagation tanks and thier main cubic display is vibrant with wicked Lps.The other owner Tom is cool as hell and always takes time to help me out. Aquas is a great place to find what you need. I dont even go into Exotics anymore some tweleve year old kid works there and thinks he knows everything. The systems are poorly maintained everytime I go in there corals are dying. I would rather drive to Greleys animal attraction, or keys island in Denver, which are both totaly awesome and have good deals on rare varities. reef and pond near keys has a nice set up and some deals can be had however alot is also overpriced, the guy running it quoted me vastly different on a coral twice and will try to overcharge you. liquid kingdom is a cool store also and lots can be found there, vicki the owner has a tough exteior but is very knowledgeable and helpful. they too have some good deals, but again dont haggle she'll raise the price if you haggle! An up and comming local aquaculture "Colorado Coral Addiction" An Internet based but run locally business has been my saving grace. look for the website in the comming months. lots of cherry corals. The owner J.D. Is very knowledgeable and will take the time to help you. Specializing in rarities, if your looking for something specific he can shurely get it for you. thanks, Mussidmaddness
