Thanks for the info, Springfield is already a 2 hr drive, I dont think I will be going any further. Decatur and Bloomington put us even further from home. My wife has to pick up some product for her salon, I just said I would tag along if I could hit a fish store. FishMan should work. Thanks for the tip.
How are their prices?

Fish are reasonable. Dry goods are through the roof, and like I said, coral is just pretty rough. You'll be lucky to find any sps. It's mostly softies, maybe some zoas, shrooms, polyps, but mostly anthelia, gsp, xenia type stuff. Their systems still aren't ideal, but they've come a long way in the last few months. The old owner passed away, and the new one is making an attempt to improve things.
Sometimes they have good specials on frozen food. They have agood variety of foods. Lots of live items (bloodworms, blackworms, copepods, tiger pods, etc.)

I am a fish dude, so it should be nice. Do they carry much in the way of angels and tangs?

It's been a while since I've been in there. Lots and lots of clowns usually.
I've seen a few angels in there before, and maybe some of the more common tangs (yellow, hippo, maybe a sailfin or 2). I think if you want anything out of the ordinary, you'd have to special order, but you may get lucky and find a good one.

Is there a complete LFS listing for your club somewhere? I guess it would not hurt to program a couple others in my GPS, you never know, we may drive a little more.

This is outdated and mostly snagged from SLASH's list, but should be fairly accurate.
A couple to add would be Kent Pet Supply in El Paso, IL and Aquatic Treasures in Jacksonville, IL

Girard Aquarium is an empty lot.
I feel sorry for Springfield residents. Fishman was a very sorry excuse for a store.
