Thank you for leaving us a review. Some offers do vary between stores and online but most are the same. However we have noticed you have purchased a food order, mix and match, which is only available in store. Have a great weekend.

5 star company - highly recommend!

Lots of choice, competitive prices and great customer service!
I wanted to purchase a ReadyScape for my tanks as I’m not the best at aquascaping. A quick google took me to World of Water, and their prices were to lowest of everyone. I purchased 2 ReadyScapes on the Wednesday afternoon and by Friday they were with me - exceptionally fast dispatch and delivery and the products arrived well-packaged and even better than expected! 10/10 would recommend 🙂

Juwel Rio

This is the second tank I have bought from World of Water and on both occasions the service has been excellent. Communication is great and delivery on time. The Juwel Rio tank is good quality and straightforward to set up and maintain. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend World of Water to anyone.
