I'd like to welcome Dan and team from Blue Line Coral to our community. If you have not been there yet they have an outstanding selection of corals and anemones. They are located on the North side of Naperville not too far from I-88. If you are in the area you should check them out.

Thank you for the warm welcomes, we are excited to be back in Chicago!!!

Backstory for the CR Old-times, back in 2013 Rich Veldman and I (Dan Boyles - formally "DB9181") formed Insane Coral. At the time, I was working a duel purpose Explosive Detection // Apprehension K9 (K-9 Pedro). In 2015 I took a transfer/deployment to Houston, TX and had to leave Chicago & Insane Coral. BLC was formed in Houston and we hit the ground running. In October we decided to move back to the cold to be closer to family as we now have a daughter (Coralie) and in December of 2017 we opened our new storefront in Naperville, IL !!!

We started with our coral systems and are in the process of fishing our expansion / fish systems.

Matt Wood is our shop manager who is very knowledgeable in equipment (as well as livestock). He began working with BLC in June 2016 and moved his family to the Windy City with us. He has been a huge asset to our growth.

Our store is located at: 1238 W. Ogden Ave. Naperville, IL 60563 at the corner of Ogden Ave & River Rd. next to Los Burritos (minutes from I-88, route 59, etc)

Our weekday hours Fluctuate a bit as I still have K-9 Deployments until K9 Pedro retires. We always update the weekly hours on our Facebook Page main banner page. Most weekends are are open 10a-6p Sat & Sun. Make sure to check out our facebook page for new teasers as well as store hours before heading over.

We are excited for the upcoming growth of Blue Line - we have a great storefront with tons of room to grow. Make sure to check us out at CMAS this weekend - We will be there with SIX 4ft x 2ft tanks!!!

I’ve been meaning to come out there. I used to be at a Rich’s house all the time buying stuff. I was very happy to see part of the original IC crew back in IL and now with a storefront!

Thank Tin, definitely happy to be back. Don't worry well have some "insane" coral at CMAS. A "sane" person wouldn't bring Six 4ftx2ft tanks;)

Thanks Smitty we had a ton of fun at CMAS! Make sure to swing by the shop sometime. ALL current/retired military And LEO receive 10% off livestock. We're also working on a "patch wall" in the store if you wanted to drop off a Department patch.
