Interesting video !! Quite funny as me and the mrs went to Essex to visit old friends this weekend as that’s where I am from originally. We purposely visited swallow and popped into reef exotics and one other on the way through!! I must say we had the same opinion of swallows, some fish and coral prices were great.

[@theeastcoastreefer]

Ha ha I was in both places again this weekend, we may even have walked past each other!

@@theeastcoastreefer had I of spotted you, I am sure I would have said hello!!! Swallows near me in East harling can be hit and miss for deals, but always worth a look. It’s one of 5 shops we have in Norfolk, they are spread out. I mainly only use 1 for everything with the odd occasion we might see something that grabs us if we ever pop in the others. So if you ever head this way there is a few.

@@matthewyeldham4776 Im heading to Norwich tomorrow (unfortunately for a funeral) I was planning on visiting Swallows in East Harling, I'll be heading a140, A47 then plumbstead road in towards Norwich to go to witard road baptist church, are there any other worth visiting in that area?

[@matthewyeldham4776]

@@theeastcoastreefer dam only just read this, sorry !! I would have said yes reef addiction in Great Yarmouth if you wanna travel. My best LFS and I sometimes use taverham garden centre aquatics. Maidenhead in Norwich can be hit and miss wish quality and prices. Sorry again!! Hope funeral went as best as it could.

@@matthewyeldham4776 no worries, didnt have a lot of time in the end, but went to swallows in east harling, was impressed with the selection of fish! the Inverts and coral were a bit lacking though

[@dazsboxofwater]

Looks slightly better than swallows Rayleigh, not sure I’d purchase fish even thou qting them too, certainly the same on coral prices there too either steals or well over priced .

[@theeastcoastreefer]

I thought the same about the Fish at Rayleigh, weird that they have so much coral in comparison to most other places
