    I am thinking of going for a drive from the Quad Cities up to Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, with a few stops along the way.
    any suggestions on where to stop and see (maybe get) some nice salt water stuff for sale?
    I would get to Iowa City, Coravile, North Liberty first then Cedar Rapids followed by Waterloo
    or should I go to Water loo first and stop by them on the way back? It may mean less time in the car if I get any thing.
    I am looking for directions as to where to go and what order to go to them so I am not driving from 1 side of town then to the other. from the Pet Store Directory
    Coralville Bay last time I looked for this couldn't find it
    Pets Playhouse
    Anemones, Clowns, & Corals
    do I want to stop at any of the PetCo,
    Petland
    Thanks
    I know Sea of Marvels is right off of 380 after i turn from 80 have been there will stop again.

    Coralville Bay directions -  Take exit 242 south and go about 2 miles and take the first right after Walgrens, it's next to a mexican restuarnt.   Petland is pretty nice and Petco is okay.

    Do you know what time you'll be stopping through Waterloo on Tuesday? I work at AC&C in Waterloo(Washburn) and I get out of class at 12:15 and I am at the store around 1. If you stopped through anytime after 1 I can show you around. It's a huge store, you'll definitely want to check it out.

    the earliest would be 11 but that would be starting in Waterloo leaning to the idea of yours as last stop.
    then I have know idea on time because of all the other places in between

    thanks for the detailed directions I will be stopping by the Pets Playhouse.
    is the PetCo,
    Petland in Cedar Rapids worth going to?
    that is what I thought about Coralville bay also someone mentioned it location above.
    Maybe I will get some more feed back on that one

    Cedar rapids don't have a petland only petco and view have 1 tank of coral the fish are hit and miss all the saltwater fish tanks run on one system so if one fish has a ill it can pass to all of them and if ur going to waterloo u might want to go over to manchester Bill has a good pet store there and he is reasonable on his prices

    I have lived in iowa city the past 3 years at Petco has terrible saltwater tanks. I have had no good luck with their fish stock. Ed at Coralville Bay is open and his tanks are just starting to look really nice. He is pretty cool and will let you haggle a small bit. Petland is good. like everybody said Sea of Marvels is closed.
