I wouldn't recomend Mitch, you will get excuse after excuse. Its such a frustrating expirience. he was over 3 months late building my sump, and every day he said it was only going to be a couple more days. I had Golds build my 220 and it was done when they said it would be. Good quality too.

Yes Gary does a good job. He built my 400 on-site and I think when I had the previous tank built at Oceans he was their builder as well and the work was good.

Me and a few others were literally camped outside BVA after being promised he was going to be in the shop (again). Another guy and myself exchanged phone numbers to keep in touch and alert the other if we ever found Mitch at the shop. At one point he lied to us and said a worker had just cut himself badly at the shop and he had to take him to hospital. We were BOTH at the shop =) Had been for an hour already. I'm just guessing but I believe I made about 8 or 9 trips to the shop by the time I got my glass. Many of these times he had promised he'd be there or he ahd promised he'd leave my glass outside for me at my request. Never happened! Gas was NOT cheap at the time either.

That's all I'll say on the matter I suppose. My wife worked at Pisces for years and really advised me to avoid BVA as she had a bunch of pleasant stories to share. I def got the 'i told you so on that one'.

On the flip side of the coin I had a fantastic experience with Mitch. I showed up, he cut class while I wait, I paid and left. I built my own tank though so it was just glass cutting I had him do.

Then again we have a mutual dislike of a particular thing, and that seems to get me some better, quicker service.

how mysterious....:typing:

My dealings with BVA were back 4 years ago. Hate to keep knocking Mitch if he's recently got his act together.

I can assure you he hasn't.
