Thanks to owner Paul Hughes for taking the time to show us around the store and Harlow for a pint !

I love how his ADHD keeps him from listening to people talk about a single thing for more than 30 seconds before he says, "whats this?" 😂
:D its true
lol yes he's so excited.
I can relate 😹😹 I got called out today in a meeting , I was talking and there like uh do you wanna look at us sir … I forget that They’re real people lolll
Was laughing at this all the way through the video
Thanks for reminding me not to watch anymore of his vids!
Thanks for this video, been reefing for a while and never knew I lived 10min from this shop!
Agree the guys at AAC really know their stuff and are super helpful and friendly
This is my favorite shop you have visited even better that world wide corals…. Idk I just really love this shop
Absolutely gorgeous video about a gorgeous reefingstore
It looks amazing wow
Very cool shop! Creatures from Cuba is awesome especially being from the US! That is amazing! Great job!
i live a couple of hours away from these guys, you have convinced me to make a trip, great video
heheh he has no idea that hes talking to an absolute reefing god in Paul... the amount of knowledge in one guy is insane
Yeah I think he acknowledged that at the start, mate
“I take you to the Candy shop!!! Best LFS for variety in my honest opinion 👍👍👍 Looking forward to re-visiting and stocking up once again!
Ammmmmmazing Shop! :-) I think i must move to Essex! Thank you Marc for this Video and the good Questions. Greets from Switzerland! Peter
Those Tangs …I’m in Love 😍🥰💗 Amazing Video !!. Amazing Store!! Thank You:)🤗
Just so you know - the awe and wonder you felt in that store is exactly how I feel when I walk through your store ❤
NICEST COMMENT EVER :D
AAC is an amazing store, amazing staff too.
Reasonably priced and life stock are always very healthy. Never looked back. Always happy to visit. Glad you visited March.
Big thumbs up! Putting essex on the map, can’t wait to visit. Meanwhile the video teased the hell out of me! Keep up the good work.
What a diamond in the rough here. I would love to stumble upon a treasure trove of the old stuff.
A superb shop with excellent service. My go to LFS 😍 great review 👏🏻👍🏻
Beautiful tanks and store. Can’t get over the amount of growth in just a few years.
Love this video, heard a lot about it in Ultimate Reef forum, now I gotta go there!! Hope you had a safe journey back from the 'other side' of the pond!
What a stunning shop
One of the best vids this year. Love the birdnest tank.
Best of the best my favourite shop I go to.
Amazing birdnest tank 😍😍😍
I also have adhd and found your pacing perfect for my brain
Hi Match great video.Glad you came to the UK and made this video.I only live an hour away from this place & never knew it was there.Will definitely be making a trip to visit a.s.a.p.This place blows all of the retail outlets by me,right out of the water.Thank you for opening my eyes!
Amazing monday morning ! thank you for the amazing content!
So glad you went to AAC while in London - when I first walked in there I felt like I was finally getting a reefing retail experience similar to our friends across the pond!
Great video
Nice of you to come to the UK and visit Paul's fantastic shop. Funny how things are rarer in different parts of the world. Blue Digi is a weed, I've thrown away so much as i can barely give it away lol!
omg i'll take all of it
Dude its so awesome that u are traveling. Business and fun make for some great video content. It really came as a natural interview. 👍
Only found this store 2 weeks ago, great display tanks. The only place in the UK where I have seen a Ventalina gorgonian and such a variety of stock.
Great video. Displays sell everything. That large display made me want to start over. To start over I would have to buy a whole lotta stuff.
What a great store 👍and awesome tour around the store, full of everything you need in the marine hobby, with fantastic healthy corals, great technique sharing ideas.
Everywhere you turn, there’s something great to see, absolutely packed to the rafters. 👍🏴
You must have had a blast March. 👍
Fragbox tv is number 1!! 🥰🐶❤️
WOW that is a great looking store thanks for sharing
World Class Shop, amazing, I almost burnt my food getting fixated on those tanks LOL
If your ever in Calgary (Wai's Aquarium) is very impressive, but this Essex store is on a another level!
Great video man! This shop is amazing
Waiting on my innovative marine 15 gal Friday, love your tank! Thanks for the info on protein skimmer I was wondering how I was going to make that work. Keep posting more as I can relate with the same tank.
Outstanding Tour! Enjoyed the entire thing but especially the back QT room part!
I love this channel. Keep them coming. Miss seeing the crew an your shop. Yall are the best gang gang
This was great I’m in the Uk and it’s a hell of a drive for me , would love to go though, great corals 👍
welcome to england hope you enjoyed your say 👍
I’m going to visit this stores soon , I live in Essex so it’s fair local for me, looking forward to adding some of my first corals from here, great video dude, my sons adhd so although I cannot relate I sort of can haha 😆
C'est juste magnifique, merci pour ce partage ♡
GREAT VIDEO ! Glad you took your time going thru everything! One of your best videos to date
I’ll second his opinion on the Reefmat, installed mine this past Saturday, and so far its been flawless… the build quality is amazing!
Thanks for the videos 👍
What color T5 bulbs was he using?
I been on repeat with this video.
Nice work. Glad I saw u at RAP NY…
What's up reefing fam! 🥳 Hello from Minnesota 👋
Great video. Glad to see you visiting foreign stores for ideas and taking interest in products that might not be here already. Appears to be plenty of options out there, far more than what we're offered in Canada and the US.
March the video is amazzzzzing 😍👍
I want to live there! In the store...right in the store
That tang !🤩
Saxby is gonna kill him on that Reefmat review hahahah
enjoy your visit to our shores. I watch all your videos. Oh and the reef factory stuff is good I have 2 of their reef flare bars, ph meter and salinity guardian.
Great to see you again. Maybe get a Yellow Corse wrasse for color? The Purp and yellow both Zebrasoma,, if you get a yellow get a tiny tiny one from Ora. Juveniles will slip in easier. Once they are big enough to be trouble it’s too late :). That’s what I do when I can. Have 9 tangs on a 300, they are fun, gotta be smart.
I have a 4 year old dragon face pipefish. He eats everything. Definately prefers pods but takes frozen. Its a mixed reef. So not crazy flow. Its sort of a hanging chinese garden style scape so theres only a couple big rocks touching the substrate. Ive probably had 10 over the years and hes the only one that lived linger than 6 months or a year. Hes pretty aggressive compared to others of the same species ive had. Hell swim right to the surface during feeding when the pumps are off. The rest of the tine he hunts pods at the base of the rock and the base of the aquarium walls.
I also have a melanarus wrasse without a lid on my tank...fingers crossed
Beautiful store. I live in San Siego and there are a couple pretty nice stores one in particular aquasd that has a comparable inventory of coral but it barely has a showroom and mostly operates online. I only wish i had a lfs like this.
Nice shop!!!
wow in awe.
Tuxedo urchin doing his job picking things up and wearing them as a hat ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg
WOW I wish we had a store like this here in Austria. Their tanks look amazing and they have SO much stuff.
The Nyos Opus G2 is my absolute favorite tank, but it only comes in 90cm's width and that makes me very sad. So I will probably be buying the D-D 1200 at 120cm's width. The reeffactory products are so innovative and look sexy.
And deltec is very good brand man, very popular in portugal, andreef factory too, very nice wifi temps salinitys and etc controllers
Dope store....
Its the aquarium shop I visit all the way from Norwich to harlow nearly 100miles one way its well worth the visit with great staff members owners also Fab Fab Fab Corals
same no good shops in Norwich not what I like anyway
There's a place at thetford industrial estate behind McDonald's also east Harling mainly for fish also Watton but just small places
@@glennsmith3362 ok thanks I have to have a look
I just had to say it again Nice!!!!!!
I love this vid 🤙🏽 how good are these LFS 😍
You could go to Aquatic Design Centre too! Not as good as ADC but actually in London...
1:33 I accept you just the way you are! 😂
Really wish he would have let Paul get a word in edgeways, Could have been a great video!
Did you employ a fly to hold the camera?
Major difference between aquarium and stores in Europe and the US specifically. It is rare to find a nice clean healthy and bright store that doesn't feel like a dungeon or depressing like 😆
I could have had a Porsche with what i have spent here 😄
I've been able to keep the blue stripe pipefish rather successfully. I've tried pairs and eventually I've seen the male keep the female from doing much which is very odd but they are amazing fish to keep and def something different and not mundane!
Awesome looking store, thanks for sharing.
After your recent trips, what changes are you going to make to your store?
My local fish shop best fish shop around
My local shop 🙂
You're a lucky guy. How much are those acro frags going for on average?
@@Harolddespui they have a £15 frag table and then a £20 table and so on, depends on the coral and the size 😊
shame havent come to Spain, next time maybe. its a bit different cos we rarely use American brands generally so ihe best of Chinese and Mediteranean ;) nice lstore, noce growth tips on the acros, shame they still wild caught but slowly slowly in that sense and they aquaculture too. nice work all :)
great video man, love to see, what camera are you using ?, and i see you using a filter, can you tell me what it is ?
New to the channel and appreciating it 👍🏼
Why did you “used to the 90s in store” (RedSea LED90) but no more?
Why?
Thanks
Im waiting for the poltergeist story marchhhhhh plssss you said you were gonna tell the story 6 months ago lol
Tees reef in Birmingham is a nice store
All I got to say is wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
If still in uk check out signature frags
Get over to finest aquatics in widnes !!!
Bro you need to visit signature frags uk .
anything wrong with jebao? i have 1 of their wave makers and havent had any issue...
Must be the best shop in the UK right?
Wow
I've always wondered why everyone says you shouldnt have more than 2 clown fish in a tank, but you go to a pet store and there are dozens of them.
Its either 2 or 10 plus no in between. It disperses the agression
@@TheCleaningRat thanks for the info!
👏👏🙏🏻
At about 12:00 what are those schooling fish with the black stripes and orange/red dot near the back fin?
Red spot tail cardinals ( apogon Parvulus )
@@aactv3223 Thank you!
hi could the shop share there redsea light setting does anyone know :)
If you want a piece from the display from WWC they'll go in their and get it if your gonna pay. Display tanks make money lol.
Lol my bad 'March'
NYOS - German right? DAS QUALITY! Bahahahahaha
Tang £799 damnnnnnnnn😮
Did you notice the sign?! NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEO RECORDING 😆 Such a RULE breaker!
Holy ADHD fragbox
How in the WORLD does that guy make a profit with all that water, additives and lights he has to use???
