Uk Aquatic Store Directory

[BigC]

Hi,
This is aimed at the UK membership.
I am currently in the process of collating a definitive UK based Aquatic store directory and I'm i need of some help.

The listing is in its infancy at present but it is hoped that it will grow into a concise list.
If you have been to an Aquarist establishment recently which is not on the list and feel they are worth a mention then why not drop me a line and we'll get it posted for others to visit and enjoy
Please include

County
Name of establishment
Address
Contact Details (telephone/email)
Web Address
Stock listings from code
Rating the shop from 1-5

I'm currently looking at ways to include individual feed back and will contact all folks who have left details at a later date for their personal views
This will be a long drawn out work in progress and I will update as an when time permits. So please bear with me and lets start amassing information on our favourite UK establishments
Thank you in advance for your co-operation and time in helping me produce the listing
Regards
BigC

Stock listings from code ##### (almost everything)
Comment: Staff are fairly knowledgeable 7/10. Variety of stock is good which are all quarantined. Selection of FW inverts is poor although marine inverts seem to be well stocked.

This might help you get jump started on the list.... [URL="http/www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/retail-se-essex.htm"]http/www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/retail-se-essex.htm[/URL]

Great Place to get fish from, they also do loyalty cards where you get 10% off all fish and a 3 month guarantee on then too.
Great honest Knowledge too. Really can't fault the place.

Thats two more thanks guys,
I will be adding stores from listings off site but would much rather get some referals from the membership who frequent their own local establishments first
This saves me a lot of time hunting down their individual stock listings
Thanks again
Regards
BigC

wide choice of well kept fish,clean well maintained tanks, friendly staff, have had problems getting a few basics from them, but i think this maybe due to the fact that they are so busy, - but even saying that its a great shop, plenty of everything fish wise, and good advice always availible, excellent choice of plants- good deals to be had too, extensive range of dry goods ( food, meds etc) huge range of equipment.

Rating the shop from 1-5-5

i love this shop. excellently maintained tanks, even though there arnt that many ( maybe 15) usually you will find the owner himself in there and hes a very friendly guy and will advise on just about anything fish related.doesnt hold huge stocks, i suppose that due to space limitations, but im pretty sure he would do his best to get something that was requested. doesnt sell live plants, and limited stocks of dry goods,just basic food/meds really.
