    That everytime I pass through Iowa City & stop at Sea of Marvels he isnt there?   I was there tonight at 5:45, posted hours says open til 7.  A few weeks ago I was there at 3 on a Sunday, says open at 2:00.
    Not that far out of my way, but frustrating none the less.

    because the shop there isn't his money maker, taking care of other tanks around town is what he mainly does. i think if he isn't going to fulfill the hours he shows though he should just close up shop for retail.

    How is Coralville Bay doing at its new location? I really liked to go there before the floods.

    I have tried to stop in a few times as well and only been successful once.

    I was down at coralville bay a few months ago and he really didn't have much in there for SW tanks.I don't know what the old location had so I can't really do any before after comparisons.

    Coralville bay is slowly comeing together on saltwater stuff but not up to the level of the old store yet.

    Well I usually dont make a special trip there, it is more if I am passing through.

    I did stop at Petland. It looked really good. Tanks were clean & priced with a lot of nice looking fish.

    Coralville bay is slowly comeing together on saltwater stuff but not up to the level of the old store yet. i would agree that it's not what it used to be. but, i'm hoping the store eventually fully recovers. ed fisher is a great guy to deal with....i'm pulling for him.  i haven't bought much from him, but he's been helpful whenever i've gone there.

    +1 Edd is a great guy and I support his store. I have done alot of tradeing with him lately and buy all my frozen food and salt from him. I think his store will get back to the level it once was in time.
