Anyone been to Rowe Aquariums in Rock Island? I know he has a ton of freshwater stuff... no clue if he does salt or not.

ROE has salt just no saltwater. If you look real hard they stock a hydrometer and a bag of IO that looks like its been there for 5 years.
I have talked to both of the guys that run Pet Depot trying to help with the tanks. There both hard core FW hobbyest but I asked the owner if he had ever had a SW tank before and he said "Yes". I was like "Sweet what kinda of setup was it?" He said "It was like 85(as in 1985) it was a reef tank leather corals some fish." He describe some kind of wet/dry filter with lava rock and a sandbed. No skimmer. Sounded VERY old school. Anyway I hope those guys will at some point turn those SW tanks around I like dealing with them.
Teske's in Moline has small selection of SW fish available and the one I got from them have been heathly. Next to no coral, I think an employees sell their personal frags. It is the best place in town to get LR.

Ouch that site is ghetto. It actually takes away from their store. They have one of the best stores I have seen. They also have a bunch of large maintainace accounts that look great. They need to spend some money and get a site that does them justice or remove that one.

Pretty plain isn't it. I think he would be better off to spend his advertising budget in local reef club give aways and such, would certainly be a better investment then the website.

What about Pet Mart on Brady st. in Davenport north of 53rd??? Any SW out there?? I haven't been there in a few years, but seems to me he did. However, the FW tanks didn't seem all that clean to me.

There is one small display of saltwater that has about 20# of live rock, one or two fish total, and a handful of soft corals. He will order anything you need, but carries very little.
Good place to buy a puppy though.
