    Went to the best reef store I have ever been to on Tuesday. It is 3 hours away, but it doesn't matter. This was the third time I went to the Chicago area just to go there. The owner whos at the store all the time, is awesome. Knowledgeable, cool, and carries the nicest LFS coral I have ever seen. He had a blue spotted stringray, numerous eels, a shark, rare lps corals, ZOAS everywhere. Really enjoy his store. Almost everything in my tanks come form there. This trip I picked up a Flame angel, lobo brain, two polyp colonies, and two SPS frags. The Flame is already eating like crazy. Here are some pics.
    Anyone is the Aurora Area needs to check this guy out. The best I have dealt with by far.

    A shot of my 15 gal zoa rescue tank.
    Some other pics too.

    All the zoas will be back in my 75 gal soon. For now I am going to stock up on hard coral.

    Thanks Steve

    absolutely gorgous tank:eek:....everything looks awesome...I especially love the blue sponge and the zoos! For a minute there I thought you had a sea apple in the 5th picture...is that a cuc? That thing is a beast! I love the clams also....I did not think about putting 2 together like that....

    Only 6 hour drive for me...might have to check the store out sometime!

    Thanks guys. The cucumber is doing really well. doesn't move much but has doubled in size. Nano reefer just posted on your other comment, thanks man. 6 hours is a long time. But you can always find a reason to go to chicago. When you do stop by there. The prices are really good. I walked out of there with all that for 240.00 Thats was a lite trop. The two times before I spent 400.00 each time. I can't resist when I go in there.

    great deals and awesome tank. On a side note, I thought that you were taking down your tank? Was that you or someone else?

    I was just down sizing. I sold a ton of stuff. Once I moved the zoas over, after selling some pieces, I notice my hard corals really doing well along with my clams. Everything just looked better. I had been fighting some serious pests. Im getting through it though.

    Awesome new stuff 518. When I first saw this pic I thought it was a FTS of your display.
