Frequently Asked Questions

Aquariums & Products

1. Are the aquariums listed on Northeast Aquariums used? 

No, our aquariums are new, unless otherwise stated in the product description. The aquariums offered are usually display models that have never been used with water, but may have some slight unnoticeable aesthetic imperfections that will not interfere with usage or integrity.

2. How is Northeast Aquariums able to offer these aquariums at lower than retail prices?

We have partnerships with aquarium manufacturers that allow us access to their "out-of-box" inventory (ex: display models, past season stock, unsold inventory etc). These aquariums are usually in like new or excellent condition, with a few that are in good condition. See product listing for more details on condition. For more information, click here.
