I will be traveling I71 from cleveland-columbus-cinci-louisville on Saturday. Anyone know of a saltwater store that I should take time to check out on the way?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Phishy is definitely worth a stop. Serdar even has a good selection of dry goods now.

I'm not sure what if anything is worth checking out in Cincinnati.

Most in Cinci are worth driving past.

cincy has a few decent stores but nothing in terms of high end reef stuff....gerbers in dayton sometimes has good selection, though I don't known when their public hours are. There is also Just About Fish in Cincinnati....sometimes they have some real nice frags and other times they have nothing but run of the mill corals, but in general their fish are good. I was there this past weekend and they have the usual fish as well as a real nice and healthy clown tang (where the combination of being a clown tang and being healthy make it rare), a lineatus wrasse, some bartlett's anthias...most stores in Cincy are hit or miss tho, not sure anything is worth stopping by on a road trip for, especially if you are just going to look at display tanks and not buy fish.
