Wilkins Marine 1.33

Please see below how Wilkins Marine operates…

We are a UK based importer of marine corals, fish, inverts and dry goods.
Our ethos is based around the collection of corals and all live stock in a sustainable and responsible way.

Wilkins Marine was established in earlier 2016 to provide high quality marine livestock to the UK from other parts of the world. After witnessing first-hand the poor husbandry, veterinary and all round care taken by other fish shops and online stockist we saw a gap in the market to show marine hobbyist how due care should be undertaken. We thrive to show this in the quality of care taken for all livestock in our care and the quality of stock our customers receive from us.

All livestock (corals, fish or inverts) we receive are kept in our quarantine and holding tanks for at least two weeks before any outgoing shipments will be made. This is to ensure all stock is healthy to the same standards we would wish if placing them into our own aquariums. It also gives us the opportunity to ensure they are feeding correctly as well.

We pride ourselves on having a very low mortality rate and back this up with a dead on arrival policy. Any coral found to be DOA must be left in the bag it has been packaged in and photographic evidence sent to us via our contact form within 1 hour of signing for the delivery. In some circumstances we reserve the right to request the coral be sent back to us (over night courier) at the customers expense for further diagnosis by ourselves. All of our livestock is packaged in polystyrene boxes with the relevant heat packs for their journey. No order will be dispatched until a date has been agreed with the customer.

We only commission the collection of corals that we would like to keep in our own aquariums and ensure the health of all livestock along with their care whilst in our systems.
This drive is also shared with our hand picked exporters we use. They adhere to strict guidelines set out by their governments and fisheries and only use and guarantee the use of environmentally friendly methods to collect corals, fish and inverts. It is also their aim to supply the end customers with the very best quality corals, fish and inverts possible.
