Best Saltwater Fish / Coral Store in Iowa? .... Go!

No need to apologize. I understand online is often cheaper, just didnt think a price would be double then tax on top of that. Also didnt mean to knock the store. Has alot more than most other places have. Have made a couple trips and need to make another.

 

NP. When u head in make sure u ask for Joe.. He will indeed make your trip worth while.

 

I just recently learned we lost AC&C to a fire. 90% of my livestock came from Craig. I've been to Coral Haven and SOM. SOM is where I'd get my snails. 1 dozen for $20 wasn't bad until I found ebay and could get 100s for the same price but Hung's snails are still alive in my tank after battling a large ich outbreak. I'm following this thread so I can find places to restock. Also J&M Aquactics look to be a good spot to hit up as well.

 

Where's J&M Aquatics? Haven't heard of that one before.

So we covered, for the most part, who the best of the best is in the reef store side of hobby. Now for fish, have to throw out fishshack in Manchester Ia. When you walk into the place its almost a vibe of an old TV repair shop. There is aquarium parts and units everywhere, a moshpit of dry goods on the shelves. Bill has roughly 12 stocked saltwater tanks. A few soft corals, invertebrates, and a modest variety of fish. With all that said, his fish are healthy, quality, and a bang for pricing. 54 for a powder blue, 25 for a mandarin, 35 for a yellow tang, 40 for IO salt and 45 for RC. Want something? Call on Tuesday for Wednesday delivery so long as its stocked at Wilson's pet supply. Nothing exotic but great pricing.
