We have been asked about our postage time when ordering on our website

If you order anything with us, it’s free postage and packaging on orders over £10.00. However we do not actually deliver items ourselves. We post items off with Royal Mail.

Usually we post them off the day or sometimes the day after your order ( obviously it depends if it’s on weekends or bank holidays ) and we find that postage takes 2 working days to get to you.

Never use fresh tap water.
Always leave tap water standing for at least 24 hours with a tap safe treatment ( dechlorinator ) before putting it in to your tank.
Chlorine and chloramine that is in our tap water is bad for your fish and for your biological filter.

If you do not use tap safe ( dechlorinators ) then leave the tap water to stand for at three days before using it.

We now have a monthly newsletter!

If you wish to join in please email us your email address and we can add you to our mailing list. In the emails you will find some information on what we have in stock, what we sell, helpful tips and also some special offers which are only available through the web mailing lists.
