  1. Comparison of fish prices USA - UK

    I was sent a link to a US mail order aquatics company by a friend who thought it would be funny after I told him how much fish cost us here in the UK. I thought I would write a small piece to compare prices of a few fish etc just because its 0235 and I still can't sleep.

    About a year ago I took a job that required me to be out of town for 4 weeks or more at a time. So I gave my 55 gal reef to a friend and fellow reefer.
