Will try and get the rest up on the website on Sunday 🪸
A huge thank you to David Saxby for letting me spend the best part of an entire afternoon poking round his fantastic 13,640L reef tank and several sump rooms.
Arguably the most famous reef tank in the UK, it’s powered fully using products from D-D, Aqua Illumination, and run solely on Reef Zlements, and is fully automated using his D-D KH Manager.
This tank is even more fantastic in the flesh, and I’m very grateful to David and our D-D rep Leigh, for setting up this visit! My mish-mash of videos really reflect how I was feeling when I was looking at this set up, and I just didn’t know where to look!

2022 was the year we opened our doors to you
all for the first time. Thank you for all your
support this year, it's been amazing to get this
shop going and to see so many faces, new and
old. It's been hard work, but we are immensely
proud of what we've achieved. The only way is
up from here - we're looking forward to 2023
and can't wait to see what next year holds for
us. Happy new year!
Some of the corals we have in at the moment that will get your sand bed looking just a bit more 🔥
To all of you patiently waiting as you fill your
new tanks with SPS frags - we salute you! Lots
of corals are in our Waterbox Infinia 275.6 now,
we just need them to get a bit bigger!
A sneak peak into a few of our coral tables. Open until 4pm today, then back open Tuesday 😎 ☀️
Yorkshire Reefs Fish System
We are open 10 -5 on Saturday and 10.30 - 4 on Sunday - why not pop down and have a look what's on offer!
Here's a very quick walk around our fish system. Each fish label uses our Traffic Light system (Green - Reef Safe, Yellow - Reef Safe With Caution and Red - Not Reef Safe!) as well as a minimum recommended tank size for each fish. We know some people don't like asking a million questions when choosing fish, so we've tried to fit as much information on the labels as possible.
🔬 Did you know we’ve got a microscope here at Yorkshire Reefs? 🔬
A customer had sand which was turning red through the day, they brought us in a sample of wet sand and we checked it out this morning. The diagnosis is Amphidinium Dinoflagellates, which burrow into the sand at night - rather than going into the water column, so their UV and small micron filter had little success in removing these. They’ve now left with a plan of action to clear it up, and should have a lovely white sand bed in the coming weeks!
In this video you can see a few things - the dinoflagellates in question, Asterionella diatoms, and even a couple of copepods!
If you’d like us to check out what pesky things are inhabiting your tank, just shoot us a message.
