Default Purchasing Aquariums on Van Isl
I have been reading a lot about where to buy aquariums on this message board and it seems like a lot of people are getting tanks shipped to them. My question is... Isn't Seastar located in Victoria? can you go directly to Seastar or do you have to go through a LFS to purchase a tank. In Nanaimo there are 2 places that sell Seastar aquariums but they are rather expensive. Is there somewhere else that is better?

PS. I am looking for a tank that is 60" long pref. 112gal (60L x18W x24H) if anybody has got one for sale

a few experiances have showen that it is cheeper to have a tank shipped in from IA than to buy it localy from SeaStar. I bought my last tank from sea star and I had a few issues withb it but I didn;t notice till it was to late to prove it was a fault on there end.

Gord, you're a week late!! I just sold a tank that size with a nice stand and canopy!!

BTW, J&L gets their tanks from Seastar. And no, you can't go directly thru seastar.

Not your fault, I didn't post it here. Someone local came by and decided to take it.

I would love your tank but it's too long for where I want to put it. I only have 65 inches to play with, otherise I would have bought it already.
