This section contains a variety of reef-related links that will take you off-site. These sites have proven extremely useful in the creation of this website as they are all extremely well-established and balanced sources. In short, you can trust the information they provide!

Firstly, I want to thank the following marine retailers in the UK for allowing me access to their stock over the years. Without the help of these leading UK outlets, I would not have been able to document such a wide array of species.

Advanced Aquarium Consultancy, Essex
Burscough Aquatics, Ormskirk
Cheshire Aquatics, Blakemere
Finest Aquatics, Widnes
Kraken Corals, Lancashire
Maidenhead Aquatics, Windsor
Oasis Aquarium, Manchester
Tropical Marine Centre, Manchester

Plus many more who are sadly, no longer trading.
