Shipping & Returns

Our fish tanks ship either through a ground carrier like Fedex or a Freight carrier. As a general rule, tanks under 40 gallons will ship Fedex while larger tanks will ship using a freight carrier. Please review the Shipping & Returns tab on the individual product pages for more info, or you can view our general shipping policy HERE.

It depends on what you ordered. Smaller tanks often ship within 3-5 days. Many of our larger tanks are made to order and can take 7-10 business days to ship, and occasionally up to 14 days. Once the order ships transit time is usually 2-5 days. Please review the Shipping & Returns tab on the individual product pages for more info, or you can view our general shipping policy HERE.

For smaller items that deliver via FedEx or UPS, you generally do not have to be home. The carrier will leave the package at your door or designated package delivery area.

Larger items that are delivered via freight carrier require your signature. The freight company will call you at least 24 hours in advance to make a delivery appointment, and you will need to be there to sign off on the shipment.

Damages during shipment are very rare, but in the unlikely event your order is damaged, please take pictures, refuse the shipment, and note "damaged" on the bill of lading. Then contact us right away so we can help you get a replacement. You can read more about damages on our Shipping & Delivery page.

Our return policy depends on the manufacturer of the product you ordered. Please read the return policy that applies by clicking on the Shipping & Return tab on the product detail page of the appropriate product.

As a general rule, we are happy to accept returns as long as the product has not been used, you notify us within 14 days, and you pay the return shipping charges. There is a 15% restocking fee on most products. You can ready our full return policy HERE
