What happened to this store! This use to be such an awesome place. The prices sky rocketed . The corals are priced high like crazy. They put acitinic lights over the corals to make them glow and then try to charge you crazy money saying they are a higher end coral! I miss the old owners.

I 've got a few corals from Mark, but hadn't gone back since the new owner. I really like the shop when Mark ran it and totally understand why he had to leave, hopefully he and thw wife are ok :)

I understand about rent and sure some of these stores have a BIG nut to crack every month but still have to be realistic, I stopped in a few weeks ago to grab a handfull of chaeto while waiting for a bag from florida and they wanted $20.00 for a golfball size in a sandwich bag ... I'm thinking bout quiting my job and staying home and growing Chaeto ...

I took that $20.00 chaeto monies and went next door to Bulldogs alehouse and ordered a pizza and a few glasses of bulldog honey & went home and bought a bagfull of chaeto for $5.00 free shipping and was here in 4 days ..
maybe just a bad winter and they'll get things turned around

I'm in Channahon, if you ever need chaeto let me know, I toss at least a gallons worth weekly. I charge a whopping nothing, its a weed doing a job.
