Any UK based reefers in here?

I just moved over to london and im trying to find a good LFS over there as well as anyone else interested in reefing.

Maybe even a UK based forum? Does anyone have any ideas? anyone from the UK?

Hi,
I am originally from the UK and moved to Canada. I can tell you S.T.M. is probably the best Marine LFS in the UK and located on the outskirts of London. I actually lived in Edinburgh Then Birmingham so couldnt point out many more in the London area but I am certain there are many. (as you get out a bit more there are also some great ones in the Midlands - Shirley Aquatics (for Fish) , Erdington Aquatics, East Midlands Aquatics, Hollybush, MG Marines etc. I would advise getting hold of Practical Fishkeeping Magazine Practical Fishkeeping

And Marine World Magazine

Marine World

Both regularly review LFS and they have many classifieds that will give you an idea of whats around (and what equipment is available in europe. Sorry , but I have to knock the NOrth AMerican Magazines here - they are really, really poor in comparison.

Hope this helps

Im in Bristol. We have some great shops in the area but if you're in London then STM is the place to go.
