New Salt Water Super Store
A new store opened up in forsythe , Illinois back in the spring. I have been to stores from chicago to new mexico and have never seen a coral selection like this. They either have or can get any zoanthids you want. I have collected some beautifull stony corals from his shop as well.

This store is awesome. I've been there several times and have seen him get some amazing things in. It is a great family owned business- the wife and kids are the only help. I definetly recommend checking Reeffx out. Great selection online and the pictures don't do the corals justice.

I second the fact that is is well worth checking out. The pic's that are on the web sight www.reeffx.com are just the tip of the iceburg and they really don't do the corals true justice. I have gotten to cherry pick some of the new items they get in weekly. I feel lucky to have this store close enough to go to in person but for those of you that can not, just check out the web sight and check out what I am talking about!! Make sure you click on the images to blow them up and get a good look at them.

if anyone is smarter than me, could you do me a favor and post a few of the pics from the web page so people can see what we are talking about. I just can't get it to work and I really don't feel like messing with it tonight.

this link as a relly good cross section of what kind of quality you can get. Many of the corals in this link are long gone, a few in my tank, but you get a relly good idea of what you can expect to see and or get. |

I live close enough that I just drive over when I see something I really like. The owner is cool and I will just call or e-mail him and he will send out some more pics of a piece I am intrested in. If I like what I see( which it is hard not to) I just tell him to hold it and make a trp out there. It is only about 45 min or so away for me. But I can say that I have seen how he packes stuff up and I would have no issue if I had to have something shipped.

I was trying to get some off of the web page for those that do not like to click on links, I am guilty of that quite a bit, having slow internet you tend to pass up on a lot of tangents
