If you are going to go with an Aqua medic I would go with a T5000 shorty there was one for sale on here not long ago. Check out a couple of other forums you will find one even ebay though you have to ask if they will ship to Canada. I have not had any troubles getting stuff shipped up here yet. Aqua Medic is makeing a couple new models 1000 blue and 3000 blue both seem to have had inprovments in design.
