Featured Good shops in Leeds / Bradford area

Can anyone recommend a good marine shop in the area?
Or anyone that sells a few bits and pieces from fish house etc

 

Interfish at osset and maidenhead aquatics at carr gate garfen centre just off j41 m1 mate

 

Cheers mate .interfish is best I've found round here so far. Theres one in otley that's much closer but prices seem high to me. Some nice stuff tho

 

Are u local?

 

+1 on Interfish and Maidenhead. That said, the manager has recently left Maidenhead, hopefully it carry on being as good as it has.

Not sure what the place in Armley is like these days, it always smelled a bit in there for my liking,never really liked it. Pets at Home on York Road sometimes have some good stuff, but they are a general pet shop.

Its not called pets at home, it paws for thought, a completely different company, I know I run the marine section there, and with a bit of luck we should have a load of LPS Corals coming in direct from Java next Thurs

 

That's the one, got mixed up, sorry :blushing:

 

Setting up my new 5 footer at the weekend think I have all the plumbing in hand. Still waiting for 25 mm bulkhead and a couple of 90 degree connectors. (in the post) but worst case and they dont turn up will places like maidenhead and interfish stock them?
Ive never noticed them in the shops but I don't look past the fish and corals lol

 

Interfish have a large selection of 25mm pipework and different fittings (to the left of the counter), I got all mine from there. Maidenhead don't have hardly anything except large pond size stuff.

That's that's good to know think I've got all my 40 mm sorted but didnt want the job holding up for anything silly

 

Apparently paws for thought on York road,Leeds, have started stocking marine,not been myself yet but might be worth a scan.

 

Never been there yet but once set up will pay a visit. Thought a few of you may sell from fish housed etc????

Maidenhead and interfish best I've found but I'm the other side of Bradford it a 60 mile round trip!

 

There is also Pet city on Tong St, and Coral reef uk at Menston.

 

I never knew pet city did marine and pass that most days will pop in.

What's the one menston like as that's my closest

 

Menston is ok, he need to get some more stock in, but he has just set up his fish section so that will help.

 

I wouldn't bother with either of the Leeds shops really been to paws for thought and pet and garden world aka living world and have been disappointed with both shops on every single visit. I tend to just jump int car for that extra 15 mins and go to Manchester. Interfish at ossett is worth a visit and pet city at tong is also very clean and well priced fir fish but not so cheap on coral.

 

I noticed the same with the coral prices at Pet city....expensive. Good fish prices though.Big Thumbs Up

just to let you know, we have had marines for about 6 years, i used to work there a few years ago, but have been back about 4 month now and just about got the marines back into shape, so your welcome to drop in for a chat ect although my days off are sun and mon, oh and by the way all the hard corals that i ordered from Jarva turned up on Wed all 21 of them, some really nice bits at good prices

 

Just transferring to new tank this weekend and il be over to have a look in the near future!

 

Ok
Just let me know who you are when you turn up, gots lot of euphilla christa, (grape coral) although it looks a bit like frogspawn) each coral has 6 heads on it (branching) really nice and black suncoral as well as many others
