I find what you have to do is call him a few days before your tank is suppose to be ready, then call him the next day to confirm and call him the morning you are going to pick up your tank, so that he can build the tank in the morning before you go. Thats what i had to do but it got done.

has anyone got starfire tanks from these guys? Because werent they Interamerican before? i conclued this because on RC there monster threads on IA selling fake starfire? also the name mitch has come up on the IA forms?

Starfire or Starphire or Low iron glass are all pretty much the same thing ... it is like when someone comes into my showhome asking about whether we build with a silent floor cause they saw the ads with the elephants walking on the floors in a magazine or on TV :eek:

silent floor = engineered floor joist

starfire = low iron glass

Mitch = painfully slow to build tanks

:mrgreen:

FWIW, not this Mitch....

:arrow:(Carpentersreef)

I buy my tanks from Wai's.
Always happy with them.

:smile:

Silent floor = glued and screwed...+ engineered lumber (emphasis on the glued and screwed....) :mrgreen:

Mitch

They still go by the name Interamerican - especially in the US market. Us local yocals are the only ones that still know them as Bow Valley.

And Mitch,
Thanks for clearing that up - I know that the guys at Bow Valley check out this forum because they have mentioned it to me before. I always wondered if you were that Mitch. :razz:

Are you all sure its not true PPG starphire when i was there i asked and they said it was from PPG and it is true starphire. And are you sure that wais doesnt get there tank from them because im pretty sure they supple every pet store in calgary exept big als.

Danny gets the glass cut to spec and builds it himself.
He's got a pretty cool 1100g corner tank in the works right now. :cool:

Mitch

I dont go to wais that often but real nice store and nice corals, with a not so nice price tag from what i remember. And wasnt really a customer servicekinda guy. Although i think i might need to stop by again and check things out.

Sounds like you know the place well.
