i agree very well done its too bad i live in no man's land i'd love to have picked up glass from you guys.(place pout here)

*side note* the notching of the euro brace do you think that would work on any euro brace other than a solid piece or would it weaken it too much. i only ask cause im sure the internal overflow would help keep that pane secure for the most part.

yes it will work with any euro brace, the overflow box will add strength to the area that was notched out

thanks, i would have posted some pic's of your build but i didn't tank any during the build:doh:

Delphinus 01-25-2012 06:06 AM

Some of those tanks look VERY familiar ... :)

Loving that tank you guys sold me (it's pictured up there :lol: ) .. I know who's doing my next tank when the time comes.

Fish tanks have come a long way!

Dave's getting damn good with that razor blade after the fact. I bladed my own tank but looks like I should have waited for the master to return lol.

eli@fijireefrock.com 01-25-2012 06:16 AM

These are some sweet setups.
Man you guys need to give Dave a visit and check out all the LED lighting he has to offer.I must say I been there and love those lights its hard to chose:biggrin:

The Grizz 01-25-2012 06:58 AM

Some real beauties there Dave, I even have one from you that you raffled off with a slight flaw that took me about an hour to find but it's still a beautiful tank.

Off topic some what......did you manage to cut my euro brace for my 8'er yet :biggrin:

SteveConn 01-25-2012 08:30 AM

Hey Dave. Got your message from earlier today. Is my tank the "coolest euro..."? Cant wait to fill it up!

Seriak 01-25-2012 01:37 PM

Man those are some nice tanks. Almost the same design I want. I know I picked the right shop to build my tank. Makes me want a one piece euro now though. How much extra does that add to a build?

fishoholic 01-25-2012 01:37 PM

:boink::boink::boink: I think you're forgetting one there Dave :razz: The stand is looking rather empty ATM :boink::boink::boink:

riceboy 01-25-2012 02:02 PM

lol good to see my tank up there lol, the coolest eurobrace is sick it gives me newer ideas on a upgrade later on lol

kien 01-25-2012 03:12 PM

wow those are beauties. You appear to be building tanks for everyone and their dog! :lol:

Coleus 01-25-2012 03:30 PM

One piece euro top is just so sleek.

Aqua-Digital 01-25-2012 09:30 PM

Guess who will be building my new tank then? :mrgreen:

Skimmerking 01-25-2012 09:39 PM

I drove to Winnipeg and back in 3 days :lol: its just a little road trip.

Aqua-Digital 01-25-2012 09:42 PM

He better otherwise I have a 1500 mile drive ahead of me sometime this year.

Been trying to talk the wife into relocating to Calgary, now I have an excuse :)

Skimmerking 01-25-2012 11:16 PM

what would a tank like that but 30x30x24 cost with a over flow box in side small enough to house a bulkhead and a strainer like 5x5x5 and 2 return lines that are 1"

i am torn if i should post prices or not! in one hand we have nothing to hide about our pricing but in the other hand we also want to respect the privacy of the customers who bought these tanks

if you are interested in a quote please email me and we can go form there

thanks dave

ps we do ship, we currently are building one for a customer in saudi arabia :wink:

molotov 01-26-2012 04:45 PM

Tank
 
I recognize one of those bad boyz you posted. Nice to see I made the cut :razz:

therealshark 01-26-2012 06:25 PM

i think every tank dave builds "makes the cut", just cant beat seeing a rendering of what it will look like before it is made. i couldnt be happier with mine (also in the list of pics).
not to mention a great guy to deal with.

Bblinks 01-26-2012 07:01 PM

Dave have you guys ever shipped any tanks cross Province?
