So I’m hoping that we can repeat a great afternoon together again

Many of you told us that not only was it a fantastic experience, but meeting like minded friendly enthusiasts made it an enjoyable experience

Just a reminder guys

12% discount on all DD Aquariums until the end of November
Marine and Freshwater
These are premium products available to view in our store

And as an extra bonus
We will pay for your delivery ( £85 )

And if you purchase the kit from us then we will fill your new system for free with our top quality Tropical Marine pre salted water

It’s an offer not to be confused with the others

And of course our advice which is paramount in your success

We offer a service second to none

Looking for an aquarium from a company that not only sells because we can

Getting it right from the start is paramount to our livestock and customer care

We stock many designs of aquariums
Small to large
Freshwater to Marine

But we absolutely do not sell Goldfish Bowls

In our opinion and correct judgment

Fish are not a worthless commodity

If you want to care for your pets correctly then we are where you should visit

Our customer care is and service is second to none

And we are cheaper than the Big Brands 👍

22/11/2024

Every now and then we get something extra special to offer you

Loving your Torch garden
Or just wanting to add a masterpiece before Christmas

Then please may I ask

Anyone interested in a Holy Grail Torch colony or an Atomic Torch colony
We have one very healthy Grail and two super Atomics available
These don’t come around that often and are much sort after

Of course this makes them premium in price
I could frag them
But cutting them up to me seems sad

I understand that it makes them more affordable
But it can be stressful to the animal
So as they are
The Grail is £499
The Atomics £349
Which is pretty cheap considering when single cut up heads range from £100 to 200 each

Just to note
These pictures were taken at 4pm when they have extended

If you visit first thing when we open up tomorrow at 11am then they will be a lot smaller as our reef lights only start at 10.45

Also my camera isn’t of the highest quality
So viewing is highly recommended

Finally to add
I’m not till orientated
Special animals like these need extra care and preservation

If you are on our reef care program then you are good to go
If not then maybe it is something that you should consider
Just bring in a water sample and we will analyse with professional kit

Not inadequate dip testers as the others use 😩

We are the best marine specialists for a reason

Because we care about our livestock and you

Hi guys
Once again a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you extremely kind people that called in this weekend to support us
You are all just fantastic 😍

On the note of being so busy
It was seen with regret that some of you peeps just simply ran out of patience waiting to be assisted ☹️

I can only offer you our sincere apologies ☺️

We are the best when it comes to honest professional advice 👍
And this means that the footfall especially at the weekend can be very high making it extremely difficult to see everyone as quickly as they would like and expect 🤢

Of course you may be thinking that we should hire more staff
But that costs a lot of money and training 😦

Also, ultimately when it comes to Marine care it would be myself that you wish to speak with for the correct advice 😁

I’ve got thirty years hands on experience
A part time employee?

I honestly try my best to spread my attention to everyone who is waiting
But unfortunately sometimes I just can’t get to you as much as I honestly would wish before your patient runs out 😰

We are open Thursday through to Monday

If you require a one to one then Mondays are probably best as its usually a quieter day

If weekends are your only option to visit us
Then may I politely suggest that before 12pm and after 3pm as is probably best as we are not that busy during those hours
But by doing this post it probably will be 😩

Finally
We honestly love you guys
And I’m genuinely sad when I can’t care for your needs😢

If you’re commitment to our store carries on in this way
Then of course I will do what’s needed to reduce your waiting time

Our current outstanding deal on DD Aquariums has also been of much interest to many of you
Again taking up much of my time
Our offer far exceeds any other deal that you may of seen

Chris my wife is excellent with Freshwater advice
She can assist you with any set up that you may be looking for

Popularity equates to trust on the advanced advice that we provide
And the loyalty that we have gained is never taken for granted

Although we have let a few of you down today
Again I can only apologise

We will endeavour to make it right for you next time
Kindest regards to you all

Marcus and Chris

Evening peeps
Sorry but a slight error in my wording last night

Just to clarify on our two week promotion

Using the same example of a DD Pro Reef 1200 Aquarium

Normal price £1399
12% discount equals £168
So you pay £1231

Delivery would normally be an extra £85 on top but we will pay that for you

And if you purchase the other equipment needed to set it up from us then we will throw in the salted water to fill it for free , worth another £95

Cheers Marcus 👍

We are proud to be a retailer of DD Solutions equipment of which we have been offering to you guys since we opened our retail store back in 2018

Obviously we are a stockist of their premium aquariums

So maybe come across as being biased

But honestly they are value for money being probably one of the best marine systems on the market

Built on a solid cabinet with their perfect streaming, the build quality is second to none, far exceeding other manufacturers at the same price point

DD are currently offering a promotion where they reduce the price by 8% and we as retailers add the 4% on top
A saving to you peeps of 12%

So let’s do the calculations on a typical 1200 ( 4 ft 365 litres system ) before the 12% discount

On a Matt finished cabinet this would normally cost you £1399
With a delivery charge of £85
Total of £1484

Tanked Up Marines has always been transparent on costing

So let’s go with the same £1399 system and discount the 12%

That equates to £1231 which on first view maybe of interest
But every DD retailer will be advertising the same news right now

But once the deal is done
They will add £85 to your order for delivery

So now you are only making a saving of £83
Which is great of course

But we intend to make your purchase much more satisfying

Firstly we will pay the delivery cost of £85
And secondly
If you are located in the Preston area we will provide for free the 365 litres of premium salt water with the lend of transportation containers for free as well worth £95

Now this isn’t something not to be missed
A saving of £180 on delivery and water
Plus the 12% original discount of £168

To clarify
A typical 1200 Reef Pro £1399 purchased plus delivery £1484

Our offer
Aquarium discount £168
Free delivery £85
Your new system filled with water £95

That’s a saving of £348
So instead of £1399
It would cost you £1051 filled with water

Finally to add
As the owner of my business
I’m pretty sure that our service is absolutely second to no other company in our local area and beyond if you want to try us out

Always nice to connect with you great people
Marcus and our team

Tanked Up Marines will run this promotion until the end of November

If you are thinking about a new system in time for Christmas then please call in soon as all aquariums are built to order

Cheers guys
Marcus

Good evening again my friends Are you looking for inspiration This is another system of which I have had the pleasure to work on with my client All the stock was purchased from our store including the setup Providing on going support with our superior water testing and advice the results are there for you all to see Enjoy the video guys

I can't recommend Tanked Up Marines enough! Marcus supplied and installed all the equipment in my fish room, and the attention to detail is unmatched. From setting up the perfect equipment to stocking my marine tank with everything I could ask for, the entire process was seamless. Marcus's expertise and passion really shine through, and my fish and corals are thriving. If you're looking for someone who truly knows marine aquariums inside and out, look no further than Tanked Up Marines! This is the five star review that George one of my clients left me on my Google business page Let me start by saying Many of you fantastic guys have recently left me and my business your fantastic support on our Google business page of which we can’t thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️ But as I built this system from the start With some humble politeness Of course I’m proud I’m not publishing it for self gratification This is a huge marine system We care for all our clients wether it be a saltwater system Tropical fresh water system or your outdoor cold water pond Proper advice on any type of fish care is what we do correctly from the start , to advise on the correct procedures to lead you in the beginning of your expectations of this beautiful hobby Fishy love to you all guys 🐡🐠😍 Tanked Up Marines In Ashton (PR2 2JN )

Evening peeps Thought that some of you might enjoy an update on the 2500 litre system that I installed and maintain Currently six months in now since it was switched on, and to be honest I couldn’t be happier with where we’re at Even with the extremely high stocking levels The water perimeters are stable in a good place as can be seen by the health of the corals both softies and LPS My dosing solutions are working perfectly And my client seems very happy with the results and service that I’m offering My apologies for the video I didn’t take my orange filter lens so everything is a bit blue I’ll try to remember next time I go to take it with me so that I can capture the full beauty that this aquarium has to offer Hope you like it guys Cheers Marcus 👍👍👍

We have two more systems holding corals An extensive selection of marine fish And of course plenty of clean up crew All offered at very competitive prices If you haven’t tried us out yet Your missing out on PROPER SUPPORT IN YOUR REEF KEEPING JOURNEY That I will guarantee to you Marcus

A couple of quick videos of just one of our coral holding systems

These are the NY Knicks Torches that I mentioned last night All have thick stems not the scrawny thin type Selling fast at these absolute bargain prices You won’t find cheaper anywhere Only one single head left at £65 And two double heads at £120 each They are currently £180 per head on eBay Open tomorrow 11am until 4pm

How to build a proper sustainable aquarium

Thanks for engaging friends The videos that I have posted are only a fraction of what you marine guys are looking for Of course we can’t stock everything But, I have missed loads that we do have Cleaner Shrimps Fire Shrimps Peppermint Boxer Shrimps Sand sifting Goby’s Nems I could go on and on So if you haven’t tried us out yet?

This is our current stock of mostly hard corals But there are softy’s in there too Pretty much something for everyone’s budget Torches Hammers Elegance Gsp Zoas Plating Monti And too much more to list

In our impeccably clean fish only holdings We currently have on offer many more species From Damsels to Dwarf Angels Blennys to Mandarins Tangs to Wrasses Angler fish to Porky Puffers And loads more

This is another of our large holding tanks Rather than just being placed in glass cubes Offering them a more natural environment relieves stress and allows them to be happier and healthier after their journey This system currently stocks Adult Emperor Angel Adult Blue Face Angel Adult Regal Angel Copperband Butterfly Some fantastic large Green Chromis Beautiful Wreck Fish male and females a plenty And a super friendly Snowflake Eel ( eating from hand ) Oh and a pair of Lightning Maroon Clownfish which I’m currently working on marriage vows
