You have tropiquatics in Lombard on Main St. ...poor selection of corals, sometimes they have decent fish...not really a store I would recommend.

Yes, the Tropiquatics store is north of there on main street. It is between Roosevelt and St. Charles road.
Go north on Finley up to Roosevelt, turn left/west and go to the big intersection (white Castle, Jewel). Turn right on main street heading north. You need to go up about a mile, on the right side, it is a little shop half a block north of the Mr Z supermarket. If you see the dairy Queen, you went about 3 blocks too far. They have increased their selection of corals, and they get new fish in every tuesday.

I've gotten a number of fish and inverts from Tropiquatics. I found their stock healthy and pricing good.

I like the store. Poor directions, however.

Go North on Finley. Turn right (East) on Roosevelt. Go to the big intersection with the White Castle (Main Street) and turn left (North) It will be up 1/2 mile or so on your right. If you get to Maple you just missed it.

It is on the east side of Main street between Roosevelt and St. Charles

it is hard to see as you are driving north. pull into the small parking lot just north of the harris bank.

Sorry; I was thinking highland road, not finley road.
thanks- Newbiereefgeek!
