Inventory Selection:   Excellent

Aside from starter kits to engage children and adults alike, this site offers a plethora of aquarium decorations. You can select from over 200 artificial plants for your fish to navigate through or hide from more aggressive species. Decorate your tank with a wide assortment of statues, figurines, and ornaments that range from the amusing to serious to zany. Setting up your aquarium with fish, decorations, and background from the wide selection here will keep your house guests fascinated and your cat amused. This site does not carry aquatic livestock, so you will have to go elsewhere for it, but most everything else you need for freshwater or saltwater supplies seems to be here.

While the number of small tanks and bowls, along with starter kits, seems adequate, you may have to explore other sites for the larger scale aquariums. That being stated, your aquarium can be supplied from Aquarium Guys for everything from filters to heaters to a wide selection of aerators. Additionally, this site has a wide assortment of protein skimmers to keep your tank healthy. And when things go awry, this site has a solid number of special care products to back up the usual water treatment, medication, and treatment products that you will eventually need. Whether freshwater or saltwater, what you need to get up and stay running is here.

Ease of Use:   Excellent

Browsing the selections at this site is uncomplicated, making the search for your aquarium needs easy. As products are displayed, they can be sorted by name and price to speed your shopping experience. As with most sites, a store-wide search facility is there for the shopper who knows exactly what they want.

Product information for selected items seems adequate; however, no feedback, comments, or ratings from users are available.

Payment Options:   Excellent

Aquarium Guys accepts major credit cards and PayPal. E-gift certificates are redeemable. Orders are tracked by this online store from their delivery providers. The security of one’s information seems adequate, including the use of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption.

Customer Support:   Excellent

Telephone customer support is through a toll-free number; however, the hours are not specified. There is, however, email customer support. It’s unclear what the professional level of support for aquatic life health is when compared to other aquarium sites we reviewed. However, the aforementioned articles provide significant help for your aquarium experience. Finally, there is a library of freshwater, saltwater, and plant books for purchase.

Summary:  

This is a good site run by aquarium enthusiasts with an exceptional breadth of products. How do other leading online aquarium supplies sites compare to Aquarium Guys? Read our reviews of That Fish PlaceDrs. Foster and Smith , and PETCO for details.
