    If you have the time and depending where you are I say got to either AC&C in Waterloo or Aquatic Enviroments in Devenport. Both have great selections. AC&C has better corals in my opinion plus its just a way cool place. Check the hours AC&C is open though can't remember but thought craig changed the hours or days open for summer.Sea of Marvels is hit or miss when Hung wants to open usually 1 or 2 but it depends on his maintenance schedule I think. Coralville bay , well it depends on what you are looking for. Ed is a nice guy always has been to me. A tad pricey at times . Knows more about fresh than salt I think. But not much in stock right now.

    Sea of Marvels is a decent store, but IMO it's kind of a shadow of it's former self... /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif

    Still worth checking out though. He's got some nice fish and the sharks are cool.
