Chicago Area LFS's

[shornik]

I'll be visiting Chicago in about 1 week and I'll be in the Lakeview area, does anyone have any favorite LFS's that I should visit while I'm there?

I am only familiar with the ones out here in the burbs which would be an hour or more from that area, but I know there are some closer to the city. Hopefully someone will chime in.

Old Town Aquarium is on the North side I think. If you are willing to drive out to the suburbs, I'd check out Reefwise, Sho Tank, and Exotic Aquatics.

Old Town Aquarium is a nice looking shop. New Fish is also the that area. Neither is a favorite but they're in the area you're visiting.

Really nice one in Schaumburg called Beyond the Reef . On golf road.

+1 on reefwise and beyond the reef. We have gotten good things from both. Though beyond the reef is a bit pricey.

I like the one in Schaumberg, but I don't come down to Chicago much except for family things and to see my Mom and sisters. ( I really should move back home)

The Old Town one (( North and Wells )) is pretty nice -- though pricey.

Will you have a car?
