    I havent lived in Iowa for almost 9 years and was not in the hobby back then. Im wondering if there are any stores worth visiting? Im not expecting as high quality as what we have down here (higher population). Thanks and happy reefing!

    No not really. There isn't a store within even reasonable distance of DSM with that. Iowa city, quad cities, KC, Omaha...DSM is kinda dry on selection.

    Seascapes has several large tanks that are cool, I haven't been to Exotic in a while, he just started up a little over a year ago so he's still building things up but I hear good things.

    You can see them all here

    exotic aquariums has nothing really yet but he will do orders if you want something but if you dont like Jacob is a good guy just need to get more of a selection and get rid of his fresh water i go there every week and see i have seen the seen fish for 3 mounths now. scratch them off your list Adams has nice fish and scott at sea scapes has good fish and some times good coral this is my opinion
