    Wanted to see where the best salwater stores or personal tank close to Iowa City are...Makeing a trip at the end of July to visit family in Coraville and thought that i might try and buy a frag or 2 of something i dont have...Or just converse with fellow reefers... I have a 120gal inwall, Heavy SPS Dominated, 2-400w 20k reeflux with 8 T5s and 2 36" VHO superactinics...Need to trim some coral myself so i may bring some frags along if theres any interest...Need to cut ORA Pearlberry, Palmers Blue Milli, Bubblegum Milli, Sunset milli, Neon green tort, and a few others. LMK here in Texas im in the AUSTIN REEF CLUB.COM same screenname. There are pics of tank and corals and the build.

    Sea of Marvels 500 N. Madison Ave North Liberty IA 52317 (319) 665-2277

    Just north of Iowa city. He may not have anything as rare as what you are looking at, but its a short drive and worth it.
