Chicago area LFS

[fisqualfish]

I live in Gurnee IL can anyone tell me of some good LFS in the area. I am currently using Sea Shell aquatics in Skokie. Does anyone know of a good store any closer?

I don't know of one closer to you, but I only trust one guy in Chicago. The name of the store is "Reef Dweller." It's not a big flashy place, but the owner knows what he's doing. He specialises in SPS corals and clams. He's got fish too, but his focus is on the coral. He's at the corner of Peterson and Lincoln. I've been to a lot of stores in my day and this guy is the only one who really knows what he's doing. He's a big time DIYSelfer and I think he's built just about everything in that runs that store (calcium reactors, surge makers, etc....) I've been to the store in Skokie and that's an ok store, but I've never seen SPS thrive like it does at reef dweller.

He's worth the trip if you have a good question that needs answering or need some good coral frags.

If you go there, tell him Todd and Viral sent you.
