Quality LFS SW side.. near Lemont/Orland Park

[wmilas]

I'm thinking of getting back in the hobby after 15 years. I'm a firm believer of supporting the LFS as long as the personel are knowledgeable and cary a wide range of items. Price thats not out of this world helps a bit too

So where should I go? I hear good things about the shop in Lake in the Hills but thats 90 minutes away from me. I was hoping for something withing a 30 minute drive.

Thanks for your time

You can try Aquatic Reef in Dundee. That's 15 mins closer than Lake in the Hills. Prices of fish and corals are awesome.

try Aquatica in Tinley Park, on Oak Park Ave and 67th, and Go Fish Aquatics in Orland Park on 144th and John Humphrey Drive.

I like both of these stores

Deep Reef Aquatics on 63rd Street in Downers Grove is another good one to check out.

Heh I work on 63rd street. Score

I passed Aquatica the other day. I didn't know abou the one near the mall on Humphry drive. I'll check that one out too.

Thanks.

I live in Orland Park and Ride to Rods Reef in Dekalb so if you ever want to take a road trip oyu can ride with me
Chicago Aquatic is my favorite in my area its part of the Reptile House if you know where that is

whiirly, I may have to take you up on that offer of a ride-along to Rod's. I've never been there, but since meeting him at IMAC, I've been itching to go. Not sure when I would be able to go (and have money to spend), but gimme a PM next time you decide to roll up there.

 

[whiirly]

It will be in about a month as I was there Monday but if you deciede to go earlier I may take the ride as well
