Why Buy Aquarium Supplies Online?

---

      The advantages to buying aquarium supplies online, usually includes: a larger selection, lower cost, and convenience. How many times have you read about a new aquarium filter, drove over to your local pet store only to find that they don't carry that new filter in stock? It can be very frustrating hunting down local sources for many specific aquarium supplies. Probably the biggest advantage to buying your aquarium supplies online is the available selection. If you can't find what you're looking for at one online web store, you can probably find it at another online store. You can quickly develop your quick list of favorite web stores, one of which will always carry what you're looking for, and with online shopping, you can easily do comparative shopping, which will help you keep your costs down.

How to find the really good aquarium web stores? First, only deal with an online store that is reputable and that clearly states its policies. With a good reputable online store you抣l find Customer Service support systems in place to make the online shopping experience that much better. The last advantage we抎 like to mention is, with the rise of untrained employees especially in the larger pet stores, a reputable online site provides much better customer service and educational materials and reference information, than any local general pet store. That抯 a fact!

Where to Get Aquarium Supplies Online?

The one thing to remember here is to go with a supplier that has a good reputation and that clearly states its policies. Some that made our favorite抯 list for 搊nline aquarium supplies and livestock?include the following in random order:

OCReef.com- has an extensive inventory for saltwater, reef and freshwater aquariums. Their online support is fast to answer any question you throw at them. They offer many sales and discounts including their monthly specials, gold box deals of the day, coupon codes, and rewards points. What I like about their site is you can recommend a product and they抣l quickly get it for you, or make it available on your next buy.

LiveAquaria.com - This is Dr. Foster & Dr. Smith's online site for selling fish livestock. What I like about this site is that they have a 14-day guarantee with their fish. They'll guarantee that any fish they sell to you will survive for the first 14 days. If not, they'll refund your money. This also includes fish that don't make it through the shipping process! They ship everything by FedEx and they ship straight to your door.

eTropicals.com - This is another Drs. Foster & Smith's online site that focuses just on fish, coral, and invertebrates from the Caribbean only. Besides their wonderful 14-day guarantee, they provide a helpful site with lots of info on each product or fish that they sell.

AquaFX.com - These guys do filtration and they do it well!

Petsmart.com - Large selection of Freshwater aquarium supplies at good prices.

Marinedepot.com - Last on our list is Marine Depot; they are a lot like OCReef.com, very good customer service and a large selection of reef aquarium supplies.

Also did I mention these sites are packed with accurate and up to date educational materials.

So if you抮e new to buying online, you now have six quality reputable web stores to choose from. I personally know these web stores are reputable having shopped from them multiple times.

Thanks for reading and happy shopping online.
