Frank may not be Al Capone, but when he says you'll be sleepin' with the fishes, remember that he could fit three of him inside his tank.

I am over 3 hours from you about an hour south and east of the Quad Cities near Wyoming, Illinois.
My closest LFS is an hour away. I might be contacting you for coral availability once I have my 90-gallon reef set up, cycled, and reasonably matured!

Hi @Soren! Southern Illinois here too, near St Louis. Welcome to R2R! @fishguy242 is the man to see when you’re ready!

Yes, I had you tagged as another member relatively close to me and am glad for threads like this to find such members.
I just wish I had a closer LFS, but I have heard that there is an excellent store just over the border into Iowa that is about 1 hour 20 minutes away from me.

If you ever come down to St. Louis, we have many nice fish stores to visit. There’s 3 right within 10 miles of each other so you can hit them all easily!

Agreed. I'm just outside of St. Louis County and we have a nice selection of stores.
