The guys at Home & Garden Aquatics are very knowledgeable and will guide you through the process of setting up your aquarium and assist you in any problems. We have purchased two eheim 240ltr aquariums plus many fish, now enjoying the hobby again after many years absence.

I Just had a tank installed today by Dan thanks for doing a great job I can’t explain how great these guys were and really go the extra mile to help.
So knowledgeable on all aquatic issues, the tank looks amazing. I would highly recommend this company for all your aquatic need.

Very well stocked local shop, an authorised Oase stockist, with an outdoor section for plants, ponds and water features. Andy, Dan and the young chap all know their stuff, are very friendly and are more than happy to chat and offer any advice you need. I also believe they offer a tank and pond maintenance and installation service. There is parking available at the front of the store. I have used this store for many years and I highly recommend them.

Have shopped here over many years, way better than any other of the other options around in every respect. Very nice people, always knowledgeable and they always have a good stock of quality items, unlike alot of their 'competitors' who tend to only stock worringly cheap options that are rarely suitable to keep fish in properly.

Earlier this year Dan did a major refurb of our pond. A few weeks ago he returned to adjust the plumbing. Both visits involved standing in the pond in his waders. On another occasion I too climbed in to place a heavy pot of lilies.About this time the pond developed a leak, losing a couple of inches a day. Dan returned and found no fault with the plumbing, suggesting that the pond liner was punctured. He emptied the water into a large reservoir he had brought with him. He found the puncture, and against my expectations, produced a puncture repair kit. Happily all is now working well with no leakage. Presumably one or other of us had punctured the liner. He made no charge for this last visit and provided excellent support and advice throughout.

By far the best fish & Aquatics shop in the area. Very friendly and knowledgable staff always happy to help. On top of being my tropical fish supplier they are also fantastic at outdoor ponds. Would recommend them all day long.
