About Us

Advanced Aquarium Consultancy is dedicated to the art of reef aquarium care, custom aquarium design, coral gardening, supply of live corals, fish and other marine related equipment, and consumables.

AAC’s other attributes are its continuing focus to bring cultured and ‘homegrown’ farmed, captive raised and mariculture corals and clams to the forefront of the retail and online stores.

With a history of over two decades of marine aquarium study, specialising in reef aquarium installations, coral care and captive propagation, AAC can provide you with the complete product knowledge required, for a successful reef aquarium in your home or business.

Advanced Aquarium Consultancy, has also brought hundreds of captive grown corals to the UK marketplace, and furthermore, installed and maintained many successful highly coral productive and thriving reef aquariums for our clients (Please also see our ‘Installations and Services’ tab for detail on the range of services provided). Many coral species from our coral mother colonies are used to start off our client aquarium installations.

AAC continues to push the boundaries in this field, and provide a hardy alternative to wild caught species wherever possible.

AAC also firmly believes in environmentally and sustainable trade, and only supports those suppliers that follow the relevant regulations and rules required within the aquatic industry.

AAC has been servicing aquariums of all types and sizes for many years. We can arrange service contracts for our own installations. We also offer a direct/text telephone service for those with service contracts to an engineer.

AAC has a retail showroom with public opening times, and private viewing opening times, whereby display systems and expertise is on hand to discuss your aquarium or desire to own one. We carry an extensive range of dry goods and first class livestock too at competitive prices.

AAC provides a complete coral gardening service, in the home or business, providing careful coral placement and nurturing. This will achieve the ultimate display look, both beneficial to the corals and the client.

AAC has a long history and passion for the aquaculture of corals.

Many of the coral fragments available in store, are grown by us and have their roots now firmly established in the UK reefing scene. This provides a hardy alternative to wild harvested corals, with many generations, and they are more forgiving specimens than many mariculture (sea grown) stony corals or wild varieties. We hope to continue further in this field, making the art of growing corals simple and rewarding. We offer service in the field of coral aquaculture to organisations and businesses.

AAC is able to offer onsite visits, to discuss any aquarium problems you may be experiencing, which would include reports and analysis if required.

AAC works with schools and other education authorities, bringing the benefits of an aquarium to the forefront. Reef Aquarium Chemistry, Marine biology, The Coral Reef and Coral Cultivation are topics of great educational interest, and we are glad to assist in this field.
