Hello from Chicago

mcalvi3 · Jul 23, 2012

Hello Im new here. I stumbled on a thread using a google search and I decided to join. I just started a reef tank about a year ago so I still have a lot to learn. I have a red sea max 34 gallon aquarium. I have been looking to upgrade to a Oceanic Tech 45 if anyone has a lead. I hope to learn and try and be a part of the reef2reef community.
Thanks

Originally from Chicago, its a great city for reefheads!

What stores do you normally visit out there? My favs were Old Towne Aquarium and Old Orchard Aquarium (would have been Reef Dweller but I believe he closed down a while ago).

Hope to see you on the boards and GL with your tank!

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I try to get out all over the place but I still have yet to go to Old Towne Aquarium.

Old Town Aquarium is nice to visit expensive but they defenitly do get some rare stuff that's worth it. Also New Fish Chicago just opened up about a Year ago they are on Milwaukee and Division Street..
