who does Drilling and sump building in YVR

Hightower · #1 01-12-2005, 09:33 PM

Can anyone recommend a place that drills tanks, and or someone who builds sumps in the vancouver area. I live in BBY

Or at least how I should proceed if I use a glass sump, and want to add baffles and partitions etc.

Thank you

Ocean Aquatics is a great choice. www.oceanaquatics.com

They have helped me with everything i need in the past couple months. Wendell and Jack run a smart shop. I wont trust my acrylic/glass to anyone else localy.

in my case it was a little diffrent. he was rebuilding mine using old baffles, so your price would be diffrent. i would guess, bring him the tank, a seastar 27 from king ed is around 45 bucks and he would probably charge you that again to cut the holes and glue the baffles. depending on how many bulkheads you would have to pay for those as well. so maybe around 100-120 bucks? i dunno call him and ask, hes a really nice guy.

I built my own sump with some guidence from Jack of coarse. 55 gal acrylic sump cost me about $140.00 for peices cut to my specifications. Then i put it together. Looks good. Not as nice as Jacks work but it'll do.

OA is the way to go if you need a sump.

Good luck!!

Cheers
