I was realy impressed with the quality…

I was realy impressed with the quality of the inverts I received and how well packaged they were.

I have had a few issues with other online suppliers where they have been packed poorly and also DOA.

I will be using Essex Marine Aquatics again.
Great job, thank you.

Excellent service

Excellent service, both online and in the shop. Astonishing range of corals in such a tiny shop, and the quality of the livestock is superb.

First order of live stock

Had my first order delivered today of live fish,invertebrates and coral and just wanted to say that I'm very happy with my order everything arrived alive and was packed very well and came on the day I selected at the checkout. Will happily use again in the future

Above and beyond service

Great family business that I’ve been a client for 4 years now, always Above and Beyond Service, always with a smile, for me going Essex Marine it’s like family ( maybe better even 🙄) I would hardly recommend and also they can help you by testing water so you can be more successful at reefing and don’t lose corals for avoidable water parameters that take a minute to control on a doser pump

Best Quality Corals Ever Bought

I live a long way away from Essex but have bought several corals online from Essex Marine Aquatics. I’ve found them to be utterly brilliant. IME corals bought online can be hit and miss but the ones I’ve had from EMA have all been in rude health and thrive in my tank. Just excellent well cared for corals.
