Any Good LFS in Chicago Area???

[The Saltwater Kid]

Hi There,

I was just wondering if there are any good LFS or other reef-related places to check out in the Chicago area? My wife and I are going there (well, in the Crystal Lake suburbs) on vacation mid-august to visit her Aunt for a week and besides visiting Shedd Aquarium we figured we would find out if there's any other "must see" places to go while there. Thanks for any info!!!

Living Sea Aquarium is a nice LFS. They're about 2 miles east of O'Hare.

This is a great post for me as well. I'm headed to Schaumburg next week.

I know AquaCave is somewhere around there which is a pretty big store.

Schaumberg also has aquarium adventure (a bit pricey but cooll displays) and Beyond the reef which is all salt water and for the hardcore enthusiast.......

Old Town Aquarium on Wells and North Ave. Not far from Shedd Aquarium at all and it has been open for a very long time.
