This was my regular haunt for quite a while, particularly as they were open till six most nights, so there was scope to drop in and pick up fish on the way home from work.
Prices are good, stock range in both live fish & aquaria and accessories is brilliant, and the owners are real fish people, so they're picky about getting and keeping good livestock.
There's an excellent range of tanks, from small all in one systems to examples of more extensive tank systems available in custom built sizes. I believe the pricing is demonstrative of a direct overseas source for both accessories and tanks, Pure would have to be one of the more economical aquarium stores I used to visit.
It's been a while since I've visited, but back in the day they had a great range of cichlids, plenty of tropicals & goldies, and no marines at all. They did get a good range of exotics when available, too. Plants were a solid mix of longer lasting aquatic stock, and a few of the more common varieties too - lots of driftwood but not much rock. read more
