About Reef Bench

Clearer equipment decisions for UK reef keepers

Reef Bench is an independent research and planning publication focused on the expensive, technical choices behind a marine aquarium.

Why the site exists

Reef equipment is filled with overlapping models, headline ratings and advice that often assumes US prices, plugs, measurements and availability. Reef Bench organises the information around the decision a UK buyer actually needs to make.

What makes it different

We combine manuals, technical specifications, current UK buying information, warranty and replacement-part checks, transparent calculations and clearly labelled uncertainty. We do not invent first-hand experience or disguise advertising as editorial judgment.

What we cover

Complete systems, lighting, skimmers, pumps, wavemakers, RODI equipment, testing, salt, dosing, controllers, automation and realistic setup and running costs.

What we do not currently cover

Fish or coral disease, emergency treatment, dangerous dosing instructions, livestock sales, local maintenance services or personalised aquarium consultations.
