house of tropicals is a nice place but whoever owns it now is not only overpriced but not nearly as high of quality as it used to be 10 or so years ago.....too bad too they have the makings of the best place in the midwest sitting there but no vision in making it happen
Not a pro, but you might try in Newport, KY its accross the river from Cincy - Located adjacent to the Newport Mall, follow the Shark signs

I just bought a used 375 gal acrylic reef tank and discovered it may not fit into my basement (darn!!!). As a result I am thinking about selling the tank and stand and buying a slightly smaller tank. I am in the Chicago area. Let me know if you have interest.
