World of Water Blackpool was opened in 2005 as a destination superstore.

Being part of the UK’s Leading Aquatic Superstores we have a complete range of water gardening, aquarium products and livestock. Over the years we have developed the 11 acre site to include not only aquatics and water gardening but pets, reptiles, tents, camping and fishing tackle. Within the tropical department we carry a wide selection of community, oddballs and cichlid fish including tetras, di

scus, clown fish, livebearers, catfish, barbs and inverts. We also have an extensive range of fancy goldfish, live tropical plants, aquariums, décor, filters, heaters and food. Our water gardening section has all you would need to develop any dream aquatic project into reality. Along with our self-contained water features we have pools, liners, pumps, filters, food, plants, goldfish and koi carp. On site we have a comprehensive pet department “Pets World”. It contains rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and birds as well as the related hutches, cages, bedding, food and accessories. Within this department we have our purpose built reptile accommodation which houses a wide variety of snakes, arachnids, lizards, turtles, tortoises, invertebrates and molluscs. We are proud to a members of the Pet Industry Federation

In 2009 we opened our Camping area named Camping Zone with over 4500 square feet of display tents enabling you to view, at firsthand, the tent of your choice. With tents ranging from 2 person festival tents to 10 person family tents, we should have something to suit everyone. We also stock all the necessary furniture, sleeping bags and accessories which you will need to make your holiday a comfortable one. Camping Zone is well located for Preston, Blackpool.

There’s something about bogwood, plants and tropical fish that just look right.

Bogwood isn’t just any wood though, and for a start, it sinks. So why is it called bogwood? They are actually from bogs and are ancient roots and branches that have been semi preserved by the anaerobic conditions of the bog.

There are other types of wood available like Mopani wood, which has a two-tone effect – an effect that has been created by sandblasting one face of the wood, and that can be very appealing on the eye, too.

When choosing any wood, first of all make sure that it is safe to be placed in aquariums as not all wood is. World of Water’s wood comes from reliable sources and is guaranteed safe in aquariums and with freshwater fish.

When you first place bogwood under water it may leach tannins and stain the water the colour of tea. This is perfectly natural and will create conditions similar to many tropical fish habitats in South America, South-east Asia and West Africa.

If you don’t like the water to be too brown, either soak the wood for several weeks in tapwater or place it in an old saucepan and boil it for a while. Activated carbon is very effective at removing tannins, so the regular replacement of carbon in your filter will help keep the water crystal clear.

What is Wheatgerm food?

Wheatgerm is essentially the embryo of the plant, the reproductive part that germinates and grows new vegetation.

As a food source, it’s naturally high in complex fats, vitamins, and minerals, while it also contains slow-releasing carbohydrates. In comparison to simple sugars featuring in most germ-based foods, Wheatgerm is better at helping fish maintain their fat stores. This is essential during the cold, winter months.

What is the best pond vacuum cleaner available?

For garden ponds and koi ponds the OASE UK Pondovac range are rated as top pond vacuum cleaners, with some of the best reviews online. Designed to be easy to use, Oase pond vacs come with multiple fitting options to handle any pond, pool, and swim pool.

The Oase Pond Vacuum comes in 5 models, the main difference between the basic Pondovac Classic and the more advanced models the Pondovac 3, Pondovac 4 and Pondovac 5 pond vacuum is the ability for continuous operation with a clever two chambers system, which is continuous cleaning function. This feature allows one chamber to be in suction mode while the other is emptying its waste.

Most fresh water aquariums can be set up with live plants and whenever possible, it is recommended to do so. Some of the benefits of live plants are that they:

- Supplement filtration - they absorb ammonium, nitrates, and phosphates, and even assimilate other undesirable substances from aquarium water.

- Produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide when the aquarium is illuminated.

- Provide natural shelter for fish, thereby reducing stress and supporting natural behaviour. Plants also provide hiding places for baby fish and for species that are being harassed by other inhabitants.

- Provide the main decoration feature of aquariums and supply a dynamic element to the aquarium as they grow.

Tips on Where to Position Your Tank

DO place it in a room that is used often, such as the living room. This way your fish become part and parcel of your life - and you get to enjoy them every day.

DO make sure there are power points within easy access.

DO choose a spot that allows easy access. It’s no fun carrying out maintenance in a cramped space.

DON’T position it where the fish are likely to be frightened by children or pets dashing around.

DON’T put it next to a window as the sunlight can cause algae to form on the glass. Too much sun such as in a conservatory can also cause the water to overheat.

DON’T position your aquarium near doors or radiators - draughts and central heating will affect the temperature of the water. The fish may also be upset by the noise and vibration caused by doors being opened and closed frequently.

Plan ahead 🍃 🍁

The OASE UK SwimSkim 25 has its own built in pump which causes a suction so that fallen leaves and pond debris are drawn towards its collection basket, the collection chamber can then easily be removed by hand, and the user can discard with its unwanted contents. By removing leaves and other undesirable pollutants, not only will the pond look cleaner, it should also aid the water quality.

The Oase SwimSkim 25 will also notably reduce the amount of time the pondkeeper has to spend netting out dead leaves from the bottom of the pond, which can be exhausting and difficult.

Due to the SwimSkim being a self floating device, it will conveniently adapt to any changes in pond depth.

Available in our stores and on our website. https://worldofwater.com/pond-filters/oase-swimskim/

Aqua One UK Betta Aquariums

The ideal glass fish tank for housing multiple Siamese fighting fish.

Create a Betta world with their range of stylish little fish tanks, purpose designed to accommodate Bettas or water creatures with similar requirements, such as shrimp.

As long as the water parameters and temperature requirements are compatible, you can keep different species separately. The separation walls are blacked out so that the Bettas cannot see each other because that could cause distress.

The filter system features sponges and carbon cartridges, as well as ceramic media to ensure great water quality.

Bog or marsh plants thrive around the edge of your pond or water feature, where the soil remains damp but not fully submerged.

These moisture loving plants are ideally suited for planting directly into soil around the pond edge, maybe where the pond overflows, or in a purpose built bog garden made from surplus pond liner.

If they are to be placed in a beached area it may be desirable to plant into an aquatic container that is then directly buried into the gravel. This will contain its growth and spread.

Also known as marsh plants, bog garden plants add pops of colour, height and interest to the border of your pond as well as creating shelter for its wildlife.

Freshwater bog plants also help to extend the flowering season around your pond and look stunning when planted alongside traditional marginal plants in the shallows.

At World of Water we have a wide range of carefully selected bog plants for sale, pop into our store.
