Good LFS in Chicago?

[kahnsell]

I go to a couple of LFS's in Chicago. However, a lot are overpriced and always carry the same corals. Where do fellow reef tank enthusiasts go in Chicago???

I rest my case....

IN Chicago I only know of only 1.
Can't remember the name but it was on N. Wells.
Strange neighborhood.
I used to go to Living Sea a lot in park ridge on devon ave near cumberland ave. People moan it is too pricy but I loved it.

i think the n. wells is called old orchard aquarium--something like that--nice place but --OVER PRICED!

i know of a couple in the berbs... none in chi-town

I absolutely love the Living Sea Aquarium in Park Ridge. They're not ***** or some other huge chain, but I find they're pricing pretty competative to many of the other stores in the area. I can't praise them enough.

i had the same experience in Old Orchard. Way too pricey. The manager was complaining to his staff one day that he was spending to much time talk to customers and answering questions. Last time I'm going there.
Scott's isn't bad. Wet Pets in Roselle isn't bad, but they had just moved when I was there and didn't have much setup. There is another in Schaumburg that is also ok.
But the living sea aquarium rocks!
