Advanced Aquarium Consultancy

Updated June 2022
Ive made a couple more visits since my first review and an delighted each time. Sirus has an encyclopedic knowledge of the fish available and the cats they need, always on hand with some care tips.
I was treated to a special visit to their propagration room where I could see how they breed and care for corals not ready for sale yet, I saw some truly amazing pieces but not sure how much I should say. These guts have their finger on the pulse! They are surely makes great waves in the industry. I even got a discount on my livestock purchases for being a repeat customer.
What can I say, five stars all the way!

First visit and blown away, amazing beautiful quality stock. Set out cleanly, staff eager to help. Was introduced to Barry who understood my new tank requirements and gave me expert advice, also saved me a few hundred quid on possible bad decisions. I'll be back. Highly recommended

Another visit this time impressed with the sheer choice these guys have. Also walked out with some great advice for my tank. Keeping their five stars!!

Possibly the best LFS I have ever frequented.

If you are looking to set up or even looking for a decent local fish store for the maintenance of your marine reef tank, then this store has it all. My picture doesn’t do the store justice but I set up my tank about a year ago and have bought all hardscaping, coral and fish from them. I am by no means an expert but the staff have helped me when needed and I have successfully setup and maintained my own reef. As mentioned the staff are friendly, knowledgable and professional. The fish and coral are of high quality and the tanks are regularly maintained. I know also of people that travel far and wide to make use of this store so I would highly recommend.

OMG what a place !!! Excellent layout spotlessly clean. Great quality coral some nice rare pieces. Superb fish stock. Great staff . Knowledgeable on all their stock . We spent a chunk of money here and was given advise on every piece we bought. We were also shown each piece before we agreed to buy them. Can't really say enough about this place except we'll definitely be back!!!

Went in on a quick visit as I was passing though Harlow and was very very impressed. The range of dry goods and livestock is incredible and I ended up buying a few bits while I was there. I don’t live very near to this shop but am going to travel back down on Sunday to spend more time. Would highly recommend and the knowledge of the staff is top notch. I was like a kid in a sweet shop 😂😂

AAC is one of the most helpful and professional shops of any kind I've ever visited. New to the reef aquarium hobby, I've been in there frequently, always with a long list of questions and it's always full of staff who are generous with their time and very clearly drawing on a deep well of knowledge and experience.

Compared to most other marine aquarium shops I've visited, AAC is a unusually clean, well lit and well organised with multiple large display tanks and a good selection of livestock and corals that all look healthy, and a fairly broad range of non-livestock equipment etc. They have ethically sourced live rock too, which is pretty hard to come by these days.

In general their pricing seems fairly competitive which is brilliant when you factor in the quality of service and free advice you're getting with a visit to the shop. Honestly can't say enough good things about the place - for so long as I stay in the hobby, AAC they've made a loyal customer of me for the long term.

I went to ACC for the first time last week. I'm in the early stages of setting up my new reef systems so couldn't buy anything unfortunately.

I have to say, this is by far the cleanest aquatic center I have ever been to and the quality of the livestock, display tanks etc was phenomenal.

All of the staff have immense knowledge too

Support your local store!!! (Even if not local) Always approachable and knowledgeable. Amazing selection of fish and corals, both high end and bargains. Picked up 4 sps for £32 the other day, you won't find premium corals for as cheap anywhere else.

A great and large selection of quality marine fish, corals and products. The wealth of knowledge is second to none from any of the team.
