Aquarium purchase,s

Nice. Cant even purchase a standard 25g {16h} or 29g {18h}, in this city of a 100000. 29g kits available with minimum glass thickness. And of course only kits???????

Even in Brandon a city of 40000 we had a store that carried every size tank without the extra crap on them and for a decent price.

Nothing here? I think I have looked everywhere.

Been thinking about doing my own.

If I do a coast trip, then lots to choose from for sure. Idea is one should be able to buy local when a city is the size of Kamloops but seems not.

Have you asked Connie the owner of animal house on the north shore? I find they have really good prices most of their tanks. They most likely will not have one in stock, but they can bring one in for you. What brands make that size tank?

Yes, I go there regular. My 20g is from there and all our dog food. Just the usual kits in stock and not the same brand as my 20g, so the glass is about 2mm less for some reason, same as all the rest of the places.

I was going to order a Hagen 25g with no kit but they said yesterday, the next order is in 3 months. ???

That is the downside to smaller stores. Good luck with the search.

where all have you looked Doug, did you look at petcedera?

i am trying to remember if I still have my 25 in the garage. if I do it is drilled but can't remember if I sold it or kept it. I know I have a 40 and two 30's hmmm.

Hi Steve. Yes I did and Petland and at least 3 others. They all have 29g "kits". I bought one but as mentioned the glass seems thinner than on my 20g Marina, which I cant find in a 30g size.

I,m going for another look see though.
