    To anyone who hasn't visited his store in progress, you meed to. Its HUGE! And their plans sound amazing! This will be by far the salt store with thee most livestock, corals, anemones, and dry goods in Iowa. I cannot wait for the store to open. I will make the 1.5 hr trip any day to go to their store.

    Not to mention Adam was amazing and drilled four holes in my new tank. Thanks!!

    We're still building the place, so there isn't regular hours yet. When we open, it will be 11-7 Monday-Saturday and probably 12-4/5 on Sundays. If you can't wait until it's open and would like to check it out, let us know. We hope to have the tanks filled soon to get ready for quarantine!

    It was nice to see you and show your around today Kylie. Me and Craig both love to talk to fellow hobbyists!

    Thanks Kylie for making the trip & the kind words.

    We hope to open for regular business around the 20th of December, that is if the electrician ever gets finished & we pass all the inspections for the city.

    Lol good luck with that man!!! My uncle is an electrician, and a good one too! Despite being better than most of them we best describe uncle Curt as a guy who'll be late to his own funeral!! haha

    Well we had him scheduled.

    Then no one had the plastic conduit, boxes & so on so that delayed him a week.

    Now he has to work on the store in between the appts he already had set.

    I will say this, he does very good professional work. It should last forever & with using plastic instead of steel I wont have to worry about the salt rusting everything out.
