    Amazing shop with both a great marine and tropical section. Being offered tea or coffee on arrival was a nice touch. All the staff were great and really knowledgeable, answering all our questions and queries. We left with Kilis, 2 types of shrimp and Sunset Honey Gouramis. Will be back for sure when our third tank finally gets set up! Keep an eye out for Dory in the big tank just as you walk in! Now, if only I could find a way to sneak their Discus aquarium straight in the back of my car... Pics are from our home aquariums where everyone has settled in nicely!

    Radical reefs is an amazing shop with just as amazing staff. So helpful in every way. Everything in my tank in the picture was purchased from here and I’ll never go anywhere else.

    The best centre in Yorkshire! Visited on Saturday . We are setting a tank up again! Katie ( I hope that's her name ) was wonderful, very helpful, friendly, and made you feel at home. Offered drinks whilst we looked around. The tanks themselves were extremely clean, and the fish were happy and healthy, too! I would recommend this place to anyone who is in the world of Marine or Tropical. Excellent, professional staff.

    If you want your tank to look like the photos below, this is the best place to go. And in my opinion, the only place. The customer service is the best I have ever had. The staff here know anything and everything relating to fish and more. The only reason I keep coming back is because of Andy and Katie and the staff here. You feel as though they care for the livestock, you and your money like family. You won’t regret coming here, if anything, you will want to keep coming back! Thanks to everyone at Radical Reefs 🪸🐠

    We have just recently started on our new hobby really happy we found this place they clearly know what they’re talking about, Highly recommend, the owner is really passionate and genuinely cares for your home aquarium & fish. Thank you for all your guidance he even offered to keep our snails safe until our tank was ready for them. We will defiantly be back. Thank you for all your help and guidance.

    In my view the best shop in the country for specialist marine aquatics. I keep a venomous marine aquarium and with the help of Katie I have sourced some unsual Scorpainde fish for it. Nothing seems to be too much for them and they put up with a multitude of questions and requests from myself. I'm going to pop in the car this year and do the two hour drive up to see them from the Midlands. If you're after exceptional customer service, in depth knowledge and a selection like no other then you've found your place with Radical Aquatics. I've been to many, many aquatics shops in the UK trying to source venomous oddballs and not one comes close to the team that works here, highly recommended.

    Radical Aquatics is by far the best place to visit for all things Saltwater and Tropical. Visited yesterday and had yet another fantastic experience from the team. Incredibly knowledgeable people that are extremely nice and happy to help with questions. Offered a drink on entry which you don't see anywhere else. Overall fantastic experience yet again! Dog friendly too!

  • 5/5 chloe j. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    An amazing experience. Walking in the door to immediately being greeted and offered a cup of tea or coffee, happy to assist and answer any questions we had aswell as offering advice. The set up in side is absolutely amazing for both tropical and marine fish. Lots of options at great prices! Would recommend to anyone! Here is our purchase enjoying his new home! Thanks again! Look forward to coming back!

    I believe I was the 1st person to get a tropical fish delivery from their website (tropical fish had literally just been added to their website when I placed my order). Katie Jackson (1 of the owners) contacted me to arrange delivery within minutes of my order been placed, service & attitude of all staff is top notch, as for the fish, I ordered 3 Geophagus Sveni & all I can say is wow!! The fish are superb specimens, bigger than expected and in perfect health, special mention go's to Danny too, I was working & got home later than expected but he patiently waited for me to arrive home then came in to chat about fish & my tank. The shop is awesome, been a few times despite it being a fair distance and now delivery is an option it's just got even better, thanks Radical Aquatics for everything!!!

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Called yesterday (Sunday) following a recommendation. Owner/staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the corals were very nice and just looked a bit more special than some other places, as well as being very reasonably priced. I bought 2 frags and got a third free (thank you) - all VERY nice. I’ll definitely be visiting here again & would recommend to anyone with a marine setup.

  • 5/5 Marcus E. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been using Radical Reefs for a few months now and can say that they stock or can get everything you require to run a successful reef aquarium.The staff are very knowledgable and friendly and the stock is of a very good quality.Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Peter B. 1 year ago on Google
    Thank you so much to you and your team for supplying me with the best and healthy marine fish in Leeds the long nose butterfly and purple tang you have sold are brilliant and bring so much joy to me and my family and all of us can't wait to come back for more reef fun 😄😄😄👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Harvso H. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff at Radical Reefs are brilliant! Had an excellent experience here yesterday with Rob. Rob spent two hours with us in the Tropical Fish Section, he was patient, knowledgable and a true passion for his job and hobby. I also spoke to the owner yesterday who made time for me too. All his staff are brilliant and very knowledgable. It’s so handy they do Tropical AND marine here. Thank you for your help and patients.

  • 5/5 Rena G. 1 year ago on Google
    We pop in here quite often for fish, corals and equipment, the team are always friendly, helpful and efficient, they are always improving the shop which is nice to see that they reinvest in to the business. We get a coffee whilst we’re looking around which makes it more enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nothing was too much trouble explained and talked me through many things offering great advice. Great prices will definitely use in the future.

  • 5/5 John M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a beautiful little shop. Despite its size I could have spent hours browsing corals. Definitely worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Zak H. 1 year ago on Google
    Not had chance to visit the store personally so this is going on the online service, which is absolutely fantastic. Both Katie and Andy been a huge help for helping me select corals and fish as well as doing surprise mystery boxes if I didn’t know what I want hehe and that’s just brilliant. All livestock are happy, healthy and arrive well packed/safe. If you need anything, whether it’s fish, corals, advice or anything reefing related, go to these guys. Can’t praise them enough.

  • 5/5 Hugh Raynor (. 1 year ago on Google
    Andy and Katie at Radical Reefs are the gold standard for customer service. They clearly care a lot about the livestock they send out, with each of my two deliveries now arriving well packaged, with excellent specimens that I would have chosen myself. As well as being incredibly competitively priced, Radical Reefs go the extra mile to ensure the best customer experience. When part of my livestock order wasn't available, they despatched the remainder of my order so that I was able to recieve my new tankmates as soon as possible - all at no extra cost to me. I did experience one little issue outside of their control, but it was fixed in a flash without a second of hesitation. Despite loving my own local LFS, there's nowhere other than Radical Reefs that I would get my cleanup crew from.

  • 5/5 Logan’s R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place hands down for me is my go to fish shop for marine … Is it local to me not really, do I travel for an hour to and from most weekends yes. No request is to small or big for Andy and Katie and the customer service and fuss they make of me and everyone else’s is unparalleled hence why I keep going back. Aquafest was amazing yesterday great to see a fish shop so busy all the time even in these crazy times. Your defiantly doing something right 👍

  • 5/5 Ian C. 11 months ago on Google
    Been here several times. Store is well presented, have wonderful salt and fresh water fish available. Staff are friendly and all tanks are well maintained 5 star 🌟 🐟 🐠 🐡 store xx

  • 5/5 Leon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Our one stop shop for everything! Last year we changed our predator tank to a reef, we have made some amazing purchases here and had some fantastic advice about everything including changing to coral essentials which has made the tank out of this world everything is so much healthier. The new food range is marvellous not a scrap left and all our fish are fat and healthy. Well worth a trip here, we feel part of the community, always given a hot drink and the kids look forward to visiting for sweets. Great chats and never judgemental. Many thanks for everything.

  • 5/5 Adam T. 11 months ago on Google
    Brilliant place for literally anything you need!! I have been a customer for a few years now and never fails to disappoint. I can assure you that you pay for quality. I bought a D-D reef pro Aquarium from Radical at Xmas. The whole process was smooth sailing, the only issue I have ever had was the delivery of the aquarium was a Kerb drop-off delivery (this is no fault of the company and discussed before the sale). Luckily I had people on hand to assist me but I’m sure Radical would have gone the extra mile to help if I needed it. The staff are always friendly and offer drinks when I arrive. Great customer service, quality coral & fish! 10/10

  • 5/5 Wayne D. 2 years ago on Google
    Cant rate this place, staff and livestock enough. Staff and owners are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and always have the answers. Have got me away from making silly mistakes and pointed me in the right direction. Advise on what specific fish and corals are suited for each application. Definitely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Mark E. 2 years ago on Google
    Massive shout out to Andy at radical reefs. I have had two orders of livestock and now that he offers qt for fish. He will always have my business. He always answers questions even replying at 11pm! I can’t recommend him enough!

  • 5/5 ANNA E W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Andy! He is so helpful knowledgeable and honest and just an all round nice guy. We were made to feel very welcomed on our first visit. He was just a breathe of fresh air and gives you real good honest advice. We will absolutely 100% be using Radical Reefs. Beautiful set up with plenty to look at. Amazing customer service and we really enjoyed our visit today! Thank you Guys

    I bought my Red Sea 425 XL through Radical Reefs in Leeds and couldn’t be any happier with it and the service I received. The tank arrived very early in the morning and Andy and the team had asked me to let them know when it had arrived. Within 30 mins of the tank arriving Andy & Sam had arrived to help me and my brother bring the tank in. I live in an apartment and we had a plan on how the tank would be brought in. Throughout the day Radical Reefs were on hand to provide expert advice in terms of the switch over. I wanted to do the tank transfer as I knew this was a learning experience and all part of the journey although Radical Reefs do offer this service too. Not long after I was to move to a bigger apartment above me and Radical Reefs even offered support in that move too. If you are looking for a reef tank upgrade choose Radical Reefs. I would recommend them every time.

  • 5/5 Thomas G. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited today to get our first clownfish and the lady was absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t recommend the place more, nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5/5 Sam B. 2 years ago on Google
    First time buying coral online and was super impressed. Changed the delivery day to a day that suited me and also gave me an extra head of a dragon soul torch for the price of 1! Couldn’t believe it. Will be using again!

  • 5/5 Szymon N. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Carl T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 John l. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Alex H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing store, friendly staff, wide variety of livestock and dry goods, brilliant display tanks. I will be back very soon, Thank you.

  • 5/5 Linda B. 2 years ago on Google
    Only popped in for a look at the marine fish. Looked like it was going to be a small unit from the outside but was quite big inside. The staff were very nice. Got offered a coffee upon entering, a few of them asked if they could help us but were not pushy. Had plenty of fish in stock, marine, tropical, pond. The tanks were very clean. From what i saw i definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Alan S. 1 year ago on Google
    I really think this shop need lots of praise for their service. Problem becomes no problem. They bend over backward to put any problems right. The livestock is first glass. The staff are polite and helpful. I will only ever use this shop online after some horror stories with some other shops. So give them a try you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Terry D. 2 years ago on Google
    First visit today .. great staff met with a cheery hello(always a big plus in my book) and a free cappachino , beautiful coral tanks with stunning fish, also tropical in the back not a big range fish wise but its a new business and I'm sure they will expand on that at some point but they did have a few species you don't always see at other places and were happy to take requests for fish..not your average fish aquarium shop these guys are passionate and knowledgeable and love the hobby and its not just a job. I will definitely be coming back..

  • 5/5 andy s. 2 years ago on Google
    There's nothing quite like good service, and this place has it! Everyone working here is passionate and very welcoming, always ready to help and teach you something new, my tank has been saved and it's all thanks to these people and their generosity, I can't thank them enough for it. I personally wouldn't take my business anywhere else :)

  • 5/5 ryan s. 2 years ago on Google
    Went in today for some tropical fish the selection wasn't huge like your classic pet shop however the quality of there fish and the care they put in makes the place superior I'm not sure of the man's name that helped me and my partner with our selection but he is one of the most passionate helpful people you could ever hope to get his knowledge is amazing and you get a nice little lesson on things from him he 100% puts you first and is a credit to the store I'm sure all the colleagues are just as great and passionate about the job you should all be proud of yourself for being part of something so beautiful and special Will definitely be going again and 10000000% recommend the place to anybody interested in fish

  • 5/5 Beard Meets R. 2 years ago on Google
    THIS STORE IS AWESOME! The shop and staff alike are so accommodating and no question was too much, While in the local area visiting freinds for the weekend I HAD TO plan a trip into RR as I have been dying to actually see the store and meet the team. The selection of livestock both Salt and Fresh water was some of the best quality I have seen directly in a store, picked up some stunning goni frags and a beautiful little leopard wrasse, having a 4 hour eta (ended up 5 and a half with traffic) journey home Andy took no risk and ensure everything was polyboxed with heat packs to ensure all arrived home safely. One thing I can say is now having seen their operation I can ordered online without any fear or worry! If anyone is reading this second guessing ordering online, I can assure you would not be disappointed, why not take the trip up if your from down south like myself their Fresh water setup and in door pond almost made me want to start up fresh again 😂 Thanks again RR Andy & Team

  • 5/5 Khalid A. 1 year ago on Google
    1st class service Extremely helpfull, knowledgeable,polit,and accommodating staff. I ordered corals on line , as i live in cardiff, had few questions to ask, shocked to find out how nice every one i spoke with, specailly Katie. Delivery was again unbelievabley quick, compared to other suppliers, as it arrived 7:30 am,that morning. a very important issue Radical has over come, is Labelling the parcel, it was marked clearly and all over, from, urgent , to live stock,this way up, priority, that other suppliers fail to address, which result sometimes in delivery being taken after 1 pm. Impeccable, pitty i dont live close by. Some photos of a small section to my heavily stocked 5ft tank

  • 5/5 Gordi C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great communication and fantastic all round service! Brilliant packaging and livestock all arrived in perfect condition, and were feeding within minutes of moving into their new environment. Doesn't get better than this in our sometimes difficult hobby! I'll be back when I need more livestock. Many thanks to Katie for everything!

  • 5/5 Masoud D. 2 years ago on Google
    I have visited many fish and aquarium shops but RadicalReef is by far the best of them. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are really good. The shop is nice and clean. I visited them twice and was served by different members of staff and both of them were really helpful. One of the nice things which I love is when you want to leave the shop everyone says greetings to you and thank you on the way out. Fantastic staff. Their Facebook is very active which is very positive and nice. I hope they carry on doing live videos as well. I also wish that the tropical part of the shop gets completed faster to see more freshwater fish in the shop soon. They take orders on fish they don't have and source it for you if you need to. Another nice thing would be if they could have the tropical items and live stock on their website too. Going to visit them soon to buy some driftwood for my fish tank.

  • 5/5 Rob M. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s been a good few month since my last visit due to a fallow period but what can I say… it was like we were only there yesterday. As always Andy and the team make the effort to catch up and see how they can help. Shops changed quite a bit since my last visit but still super clean and plenty to choose from. Well worth a visit even just to see the DT.

  • 5/5 Joe H. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm new to the hobby so needed all the help I could get and radical reefs have been amazing for that. All the staff are friendly and ready to help. Great prices on all the things you need too. Would recommend to everyone 👌

  • 5/5 Ian T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good service and excellent communication. Katie who I dealt with was super polite and friendly. I received a regal tang and it arrived safely in good health. This will be my go to place now for livestock. A big thumbs up from me.

  • 5/5 ISINMI Fisayo J. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I got my tank with the stand at this store and Daniel came to my house to fix everything for me. Daniel did a wonderful job and also put me through some other things. He created much time explaining so many things about the tank and also gave advice on which fish to get. I surely recommend this store to thousands of people. Customer service was absolutely on point and fantastic. Thanks guys.
