I've known Russ (head of marines) and Glynn (head of Tropical's and Discus) for quite a few years now, so its very much my pleasure to add them to my list of recommended dealers. Why, well its quite simple really, I not only rate dealers on the quality of service provided and the quality of stock sold, but also on how they view the hobby in general, what they give back to it, and the efforts they put in. and if it boiled down to pure effort, these guys would win gold every time. Not only have they put together and refitted a stunning shop, provide first class customer service and stock, they also give a considerable amount of time up to provide a well known and respected reefing forum called Marine Fish Uk

It was back in late 2006 that I got a long overdue chance to visit the new shop in Great Yarmouth, and to put it bluntly, was quite stunned at the amount of work and effort that had gone into it. Not only in relation to the massive range of stock and dry goods offered, but also the technical side of things. Russ and Glynn have incorporated some damn good ideas into the running of the marine system including a Carlson surge device and raceway setup on the live rock holding bays, which keeps the rock in superb condition. Additionally to this, they have a tank set aside for that all important live rock grunge that makes seeding sand beds etc so much easier.

The Live Rock holding system, grunge tank, and surge system makes a superb environment for producing top quality live rock.

But that's just a tiny fraction of this extensive shop.

On top of that you'll find..

4 x 5x2 coral tanks

4 x 4x3 farm tanks

16 invert bays including seahorses and a host of oddball critters.

and 32 tanks making up the fish systems.

each of these areas runs its own natural filtration system ensuring effective segregation and the highest possible degree of health when it comes to live stock welfare.

and possibly the biggest range of accessories, dry goods, foods and equipment you'll ever see outside a wholesalers....trust me, the range is 'MASSIVE'..

including.

Seachem, Kent, Aquamedic, TMC, Ocean Nutrition, Coral Frenzy, Books, Ro units and fittings, San francisco bay, Hydor skimmers, Koralia Powerheads, Salifert, GHL, API, Tetra, Ehiem, etc etc etc ....the List goes on and on.

Facilities also include, professional tank builds, both private and commercial, tank drilling, and online purchasing through the main site. (click on the banner at the top of this page)

Well laid out, and crammed to the brim with goodies. a credit card could take a major bashing here.

Gorgeous stock, a wide range of tank options, and the very latest kit, make this shop a ' must see '.

So with that, I'll leave you with a few beastie shots, and a heart felt recommendation to go visit not only one of the best outlets in the Uk (hence this recommendation), but also to have a chat and discuss all things reef related with two of the nicest guys, and some of the most helpful staff in the industry today.

What more can I say......

here is a map which includes a nice place to have lunch etc....strangely enough, the Rumbold Arms also has a display tank fitted by Russ and Glynn. (no surprise there)

( please note, that they are now actually open 7 days a week )
