And that’s us back off to the races.

Brand new plant tank,
Brand new plants.
And as always. Braw pricing.

Perfect to get a new tank started or rework your existing aquascape.

Everything from filler bunched plants to specialised and more advanced pots.

Moss up front to tie it all together.

Have you tried the Njord scaping glue to stick it all down?

🐚 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗛 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗡-𝗨𝗣 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗪 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗗 🐚

We’ve had a really nice top-up of marine inverts arrive, with a good mix of useful clean-up crew and a few more specialist additions 👀

This week we’ve got:

🦀 Anemone Crabs
🎃 Halloween Hermit Crabs
⚫ Black/White Algae-Eating Hermits
🔵 Blue-Eyed Hermit Crabs

🐌 Nassarius Snails
🐌 Grazer Shells
🐌 Cerith Sand Snails
🐌 Needle Snails
🐌 Orange-Lip Conchs
🐚 Fighting Conchs
🐌 Turbo Torquata
🐌 Turban Snails
🐌 Spiny Astrea Snails

🦐 Harlequin Shrimp

🐇 Sea Hares
🪱 Feather Dusters

A really useful mix if you’re looking to top up your clean-up crew, add more sand sifters and grazers, or pick up something a little different for the reef.

Some of these are more specialist than your standard CUC, so if you’re unsure what suits your tank, just ask and we’ll point you in the right direction.

🚨💡 𝗙𝗟𝗨𝗩𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗬 𝟯.𝟬 𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 💡🚨

This is one we’ve been waiting on for a while…

𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘆 𝟯.𝟬 lights are finally due in this week 🎉

And there’s a reason people get excited about them.

You get a much more modern, customisable lighting setup than a basic on/off aquarium light, with app control, adjustable colour output, programmable 24-hour lighting cycles and sunrise/sunset style transitions.

So instead of your tank going from pitch black to full daylight in one click, you can build a lighting schedule that looks far more natural and shows your fish and plants off properly.

🌅 Sunrise and sunset effects
🎨 Adjustable RGB + white output
📱 FluvalConnect app control
⏱️ Programmable 24-hour cycle
🌿 Great for freshwater and planted displays
✨ Wide, even light spread across the aquarium

And there’s a size to suit pretty much everything:

💡 𝟭𝟮𝗪 — 38–63cm
💡 𝟭𝟲𝗪 — 53–84cm
💡 𝟮𝟭𝗪 — 75–106cm
💡 𝟮𝟱𝗪 — 83–115cm
💡 𝟮𝟳𝗪 — 91–123cm
💡 𝟯𝟬𝗪 — 99–130cm
💡 𝟯𝟯𝗪 — 115–146cm

They’ll also be another big addition to our expanding Fluval range in store.

We’ll get them on the shelves as soon as they land 👀

🐾 TYLER HERE! 🐾

I’m in the shop today, ready to perform my very important duties as Chief Sleep Officer… but apparently Jock had to come along and steal my spotlight! 🙄😂

I was promised this would be my post, yet there he is—greeting customers, demanding attention and acting like he’s part of management too.

Pop in and say hello to **me** today. You can say hello to Jock as well, I suppose… but please remember who the real star is! ⭐🐶

🐾 𝗔 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗗 🐾

This one is a little different from our usual posts.

One of Daisy and Tonka’s sisters, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, is sadly looking for a new forever home.

Due to illness within her current family, they’re no longer in a position to give her the level of care they feel she deserves. They are absolutely devastated at having to make this decision, but they are putting her needs first and want to make sure she goes somewhere she can have the time, care and attention she deserves. ❤️

This is absolutely not a case of simply finding 𝗮𝗻𝘆 home.

We want to help find her the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 — and only the right home.

She’s part of the same Great Dane family as Daisy and Tonka, so this one is particularly close to us.

And before anyone asks… yes, we have considered bringing her into Astarte management.

Unfortunately we are already dangerously overstaffed in the 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 department and genuinely do not have space for another manager. 😂🐾

If you are genuinely interested in offering her a permanent home, please message the page privately with a little information about yourself, your home, any other animals you have and your experience with large breeds/Great Danes.

🐾 Serious enquiries only
🏡 Permanent, loving home required
❤️ The right home is far more important than finding one quickly
🐕 Large-breed/Great Dane experience would be a huge advantage

Please feel free to share this post — the perfect home might be with someone who hasn’t seen it yet.

We’ll be very particular about where she goes.

𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀. ❤️
