Don’t I know it. I know of two others besides mine, actually I guess it’s three now lol. There used to be a lot more once upon a time.

I almost asked if you were in Springfield lol. Years ago I would shop at the fish man. They have gone downhill since then though.

Ya they have but still serve a purpose. I wouldn't even suggest natures select.

Last time I was there walls covered with mold and dog treats and such had mold on them as well. A shame they had potential.

Their tanks were full of aiptasia too. I hope they clean up their act but who knows?

Welcome! I'm in Normal, IL. I help out the guys at The Coral Crib when I have spare time... helped them design and build their grow-out system etc.

I am quite impressed with them. That’s where I got my 90 gallon cube from. They didn’t act like used car salesmen and the tanks were perfectly maintained. Great prices too. Oh and they helped me get the cube out of their back room into our car. I got a great deal on it too. It was a used tank but it’s like new.

Solid store and owners are fantastic.

Yeah, Luke and Brayden are great kids... they are doing it right. Maybe I'll see one of you in there on the weekends! I'm the "older" guy that looks like he may work there, probably working on plumbing, but doesn't technically work there lol.
