Have you been to Corbin's Exotic Pets in Marengo? They have LR for $7.99 but evertime I've bought some he usually gives a discount to around $5 a lb.

The door was open and they were building the wooden frame for stands. I dont know when they will open but I will keep you posted.

Chicago Aquarium opened this week on Wednesday.
5040 N. Clark St. 11am - 6pm
773.878.8474

I went in today to check them out.
Right now they are just fish. They had a school of the cutest and smallest Ocellaris. They didnt have a huge selection yet but that will change. I knew one of the guys running the place. He told me their selection of fish will be growing and he is also planning on setting up some coral/invert tanks. I am really looking forward to watching them grow.

Hello all im in crystal lake area, and was wondering if anyone with a fish only tank is looking for a black spiny urchin. He is free to a good home, but is NOT zoo and polyp safe, he has a major case of the munchies. His main body is reaching hockey puck size, and spikes go well over softball size. Ive had him for less then a year, and when i got him he was size of almost a quarter. HE eats agreen algae sheets, 1/2 of one folded up lasts about a day.

What up.
I'm bill from Orland Park. Has anyone been to Darklord coral? I heard it's some guy selling coral out of his house. I think it's in Brookfield. Just curious, I've heard good things. I don't really have anything worth trading yet, but I'd be interested in buying frags locally. Let me know.
