    Planning a trip to Chicago area this weekend. Any recommendation on good stores to visit for fish and coral frags?

    Found one call Beyond the Reef and one called Advanced Aquatics that looks interesting.

    I have been to Beyond the reef, most corals I have seen in a store plus large variety of fish and supplies.

    Old town aquarium was nice a couple months ago. They had the devil clam from reef builders article and a cool eel.

    Aqua Pro has a great selection and really good prices
    Reef Wise is worth a visit definitely
    Seven Seas is not open yet or I would say go there for fish not sure on the coral (Fabio is moving locations so his coral may be good at the new place.)
    Xzotic Aquatic is neat to visit but I have only been there once I saw not issues but others have said the fish were sick.
    Under Water worlds is like a warehouse lots of fish decent amount of coral not sure on the prices but I hear the staff are helpful.
    Advanced Aquatics - I was there once plenty of selection on fish and coral but after I felt I was given miss-information on 3 different things I never went back.

    I have family in the Chicagoland suburbs so I have been to several stores out there. Good luck! Have fun.
