well after my exams are over im going to set up a 24x12x15" tank/ 55lt but after doing some basic number crunching the end bill for intial set up is waaaay too much to buy from my Local (even though its a fairly resonable store) im starting to search the net and ebay for good prices but does anyone know any good sites for Hardware in the uk/or ships to the uk etc?

many thanks

Bump?

zooplus.co.uk always seem to flog at the cheapest prices (by far sometimes).

I am talking purely COST. I have never tried them & I cannot therefore speak for their levels of after sales service.

Regards,

ebay.co.uk obviously and

aquarist-classifieds.co.uk I just got a 50 gpd RO unit and a D-Deltec 'float switch system' for £55 delivered from a guy there.

thanks people ill give zooplus, and ive heard good news from A-c but never really looked on, also if my interpritation is correct Ro units must be pluged straight into the main water supply correct? if so ... $%£!

no, they can be used with a tap

Also join associations and clubs. I know of several UK based marine related aquarium forums which would come up very quickly from a Google search. ANY association you join has members willing to help newbs out, and many offload equipment/tanks/livestock at bargain prices, because no second hand equipment goes for what it originally cost in this hobby. So, join a society locally, its the best thing ive ever done in this hobby!

for the tap connection do you A)usually get the tap connection B)is it part of the Ro machine and therefore i have to buy a perticualar Ro machine C) have to specially order it/go to the local hardware store etc? ill look in the area for a local group

I get a lot of stuff from coralgarden.co.uk. Its usually only stuff my LFS doesnt stock though. Best bet is ebay.
