90 gal 48x22wx20h $425 and didn't even include the bulk heads

I thought Denis and David stop getting their tanks from Mitch? I guess not. I am guilty of owning one of Bow Valleys tanks, it is an inwall so I didn't care about the finishing much. They did do a good job as far as I am concerned though. It is a 48x20x24 so a custom 100gal, with a smoked glass 65gal sump. Originally they threw in all the plumbing, bulk heads, pumps, unions, ball valves, bio balls, floss etc... The pumps where cheap and had to be changed out in like a few months, but all in all I though I got a good deal.

I personally want to get back into building large monster tanks, so I doubt I will get them again, as I will just do it our selves. After reading several posts on various topics Mitch has got some bad Juju. He is an odd fella, but when I delt with him personally he was a typical business man, just louder. LOL
