Supplies Needed!

Hi guys - here in the UK there isnt even 1/10th the choice you have in the US. I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that may offer fast shipping overseas or if anyone had any experience in buying from the UK and where the best places were. All I know is that I spend half the day looking on liveaquaria.com drooling, then I go to my local fish stores and they have a few bits of barren LR and some red legged hermits. They do have a few fish obviously but when compared to the stuff you guys can get hold of in the US they suck

Anyone got any clues that could help me out - my wallet is burning a hole in my pocket

Chris, what is it your looking for , lots of goodies available in the UK if you know the right places and most of them do mail order as well.

trust me.... the vast majority of Local Fish Stores here in the US are exactly as you have described in the UK.... barren rock, diseased fish...etc. I've had better luck in large cities finding stores. Do local internet and yellow pages searches. The main thing is to do some leg work, go check them out!!

Im mainly after corals - I seem to have caught the bug

although I still have space in my tank for a couple of fish

Basically anywhere that sells marine fish/inv/coral although i'm pretty sure it wont have the same choice as liveaquaria.com
