I recently went to Wales for a few days, and on the drive back to London I decided to stop off in Wrexham to check out the Green Machine.
To be honest the place is nothing special. They had two large planted tanks, but they weren't exactly spectacular. Then about 6 or 7 smaller ADA tanks, mainly with shrimp and smaller tetras, but again- the layouts aren't any more impressive than the stuff I've seen at Aquatic Design Centre.
Also I was completely ignored while I was in the shop- they were busy re- arranging and organising the store, and I had to go into the office to ask for some assistance. Having said that, once I had got their attention I had a ten minute discussion with one of the guys who worked there.
Anyway, all in all- not exactly what I was expecting. The tanks at ADC in Great Portland St are more impressive and better maintained. And there are many more of them. I guess TGM are focussing more on their internet business these days?
