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?" 😂

[@fragboxcorals]

:D its true

[@plantedtankz8988]

lol yes he's so excited.

[@user-yh9oy2vz5z]

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

[@northeastcorals]

Was laughing at this all the way through the video

[@kernalbert4939]

Thanks for reminding me not to watch anymore of his vids!

[@LukeGreen_]

heheh he has no idea that hes talking to an absolute reefing god in Paul... the amount of knowledge in one guy is insane

[@paulmorgan5841]

Yeah I think he acknowledged that at the start, mate

[@thepugsyman]

Thanks for this video, been reefing for a while and never knew I lived 10min from this shop!

[@TMan-et6zk]

This is my favorite shop you have visited even better that world wide corals…. Idk I just really love this shop

[@pushbuttonreef]

[@LukeGreen_]

Saxby is gonna kill him on that Reefmat review hahahah

[@EazyP_Z]

What a diamond in the rough here. I would love to stumble upon a treasure trove of the old stuff.

[@oztekofficial8150]

I also have adhd and found your pacing perfect for my brain

Just so you know - the awe and wonder you felt in that store is exactly how I feel when I walk through your store ❤

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.

[@tonymarsh7217]

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!

[@Richs_reef]

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!

[@marcopalazzo9349]

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.

[@adamfuller9281]

Beautiful tanks and store. Can’t get over the amount of growth in just a few years.

[@ProducerReef]

What color T5 bulbs was he using? I been on repeat with this video. Nice work. Glad I saw u at RAP NY…

[@Wiljuchi]

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!

[@fragboxcorals]

omg i'll take all of it

[@madshepsreef282]

Best of the best my favourite shop I go to.

[@ArrickthaRed]

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.

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 😆

[@nipponjim7815]

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!

[@Diskusforum]

One of the best vids this year. Love the birdnest tank.

[@johnbrand1893]

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. 👍

Really wish he would have let Paul get a word in edgeways, Could have been a great video!

[@curtcastle2919]

That tang !🤩

[@tricktaylor1983]

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.

[@jrink0]

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.

[@ncoppens]

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.

[@__reefer]

Thanks for the videos 👍

[@reefphotographyig5225]

And deltec is very good brand man, very popular in portugal, andreef factory too, very nice wifi temps salinitys and etc controllers

[@bigwavecoralsllp]

Great video man! This shop is amazing

[@Fish_Ventura]

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.

[@damiantosd8720]

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.

You're a lucky guy. How much are those acro frags going for on average?

[@steveallen3845]

I just had to say it again Nice!!!!!!

[@philcavallini9657]

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!

[@peterulvestad6418]

Awesome looking store, thanks for sharing. After your recent trips, what changes are you going to make to your store?

[@PazLeBon]

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 :)
