About The Green Machine

Mark and Jim had a vision to change the face of Aquatics in the U.K. Having travelled extensively in the far east (they met in Thailand) they realised that the state of fish keeping in Britain was far behind what they witnessed in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Jim had worked with CO2 injected tanks for a number of years and was keen to promote this form of fish keeping, particularly in the U.K.

Mark and Jim are pioneering a new approach to the hobby and have opened The Green Machine as a flagship in the art of aquascaping.

Aquascaping itself is simply creating what is intrinsically a small section of tropical riverbank within the confines of your own home.

The emphasis of these tanks is on the beautiful landscape created within an aquarium, with the onus on the beauty and harmony of nature. The jewel in the crown of course is when the fish are added bringing the whole picture alive.

Our business is unique and we believe that we are the only retailer of this kind in Europe.

We have set up a number of tanks for various clients all of whom are overjoyed with the results that we have achieved for them. Many of our clients however have preferred, with our help and advice to plant their own underwater paradise.

Our vision for the future is to change the face of aquatics in the U.K. which we feel needs to be brought up to date and turned more into an art form.

Our instore showtanks need to be seen to be believed, they are truly inspirational taking the hobby to its pinnacle.

All our our clients have completely changed their outlook on fish keeping many of whom have started again from scratch. Many others who have experienced this kind of fish keeping are overjoyed to have a shop of this nature to aid and support them.
