I'd try the place on the haslingden ind estate, I used to use them when I had the marine tank, great choice and good advice, great harwood used to be good till it got taken over then went downhill a bit but might be Ok again now.
1 warning though for you, do you use shake and vac? dont if you have a fish tank, the pump sucks the fumes in and pumps it into the water and kills everything as I found out and lost over £300 of fish, invertebrates and corals

Not in my house it wouldn't. I had the pump outside in a waterproof enclosure so I did not have to listen to it inside :D

I had one of those rotating piston type pumps that are almost silent, bit expensive but worth it as the noise from pumps can really get on your nerves, mind you I had 13 tanks at the time :-)
