Very Nice, just got my tank from Inter-American, ordered it in March, I was in no rush so the wait didn't bother me, must of been music to Mitch's ears when I said I was in no rush., main thing is I'm happy with it, I'll be even happier when I fill it up and it doesn't leak.

Your Little one seems to like it, you could save yourself a pile of money and just use it as a playpen. :smile:

I actually did use it as a playpen as I was setting up the railings. :biggrin:
Now he thinks its a big basketball net and throws things in as i'm filling it up. everytime he gets something in there and makes a splash, he looks at you and claps his hands :frown: I hope i don't find a piece of terayaki chicken in there before I build the canopy

Regarding the tank, I am very happy with the tank..... but not so pleased with Mitch; he had a habit of telling things and promising me timelines that wasn't true. A number of times, he actually states that he is doing something with my tanks (ie "they're all done and i'm just waiting for the silicone to cure...." and when I talk to his staff later, they have no idea what he was talking about because they had been working on another order completely. The receptionist was really good to deal with .. i believe her name was Audrey and she was very honest and was less than impressed when I asked her, "Mitch told me he had shipped the tanks couple of days ago and I was wondering if you have a waybill number?" and her response was, "Hmmmmmm, I have NOOO idea why he's telling you things thats not true because your tanks haven't even been built yet..... they've been working on a trailer of tanks that needed to be shipped out this Friday............" So from then on, I never called Mitch again, I only dealt with her.

Do you have a lot of experience building tanks? Any tips that you find useful? I was thinking of trying to build some (I've got a text on the subject), but starting small to get some experience. I was thinking of doing a small centralized system for my dwarf cichlids. Maybe 4 - 40 gallon tanks with a 40 gallon sump.

Then when I feel confident I will tackle a bigger tank, maybe 200 gallons :biggrin:

Cheers,
Vic [veng68]
