    Does anyone know if this store is still open and if so, what their hours are?   Every time I go by there it's closed.
    I know they used to stock a couple of products that I like, so it would be nice to figure out when/if they are ever open so I could go pick some up.
    I hate to see another saltwater shop shut down, but I can't see how they can stay in business without some semi normal hours.

    The same happened when I tried to take him a flier. I had heard at the meeting he might be moving to a new location, and he sold the set up in front. I dont know for sure, just what I heard.

    Ok, I drove by and he happened to be open. He is definitley moving, but he's not sure where yet, it sounded like he had a couple of potential locations on the NE side of Cedar Rapids (which is good for me).

    Anyway, I talked to him for a couple minutes about my cyano problem and he seems like a really nice guy. He mentioned that he really doesn't want to have to move much stuff to his new location so he's going to be making folks good deals on stuff until the move. It sounds like he even wants to sell his big display tank.

    So, if you are in the CR area, stop in and check him out. Unfortunately, I get the feeling his hours are still going to be hit and miss for now, so you may want to call first.

    It's in a little strip mall on third ave (one way) on the SW side. I don't know the address or the phone number, but if someone else has them please post.
