★★★★★3 months agoFantastic shop and gallery. Excellent service from Márk and Tommy who were very helpful and friendly, and personally assisted me with my many questions and my custom aquarium+cabinet. Also very good customer service by email. If the shop is accessible to you, I would 100% recommend their services.
