Default Emigrating To Canada And Need A Tank Builder

Hi

I move out to canada from the Uk in 5 weeks, moving to ottawa.

I am looking for a tank builder (reputable company) that can build a 6' x 4' x 2.5' in the basement of our home.

Does anyone have any contacts?

best wishes
Michael

They're based out of Toronto, which is not THAT far from Ottawa (it's about a 5 hour drive). But they ship all over the place anyhow.

Contact Derek from www.MiraclesAquarium.com. He will not sell to you directly as he is protective of his dealer relationships in Ontario, but, he will work with you to design a custom tank. I have one of his tanks and the work is second to none. Anything you get from Ontario will most likely be built in Toronto.

If you drive like a Grandma. LOL It's only 3.5 to 4 hours. Three if you put the hammer down!

Only time I ever did the drive was in a '71 Bug on our way to the veedub show, about 10 or so years ago now. So I guess my memory's a bit off about how long it took. (To me, shoved in the back seat, it felt pretty long enough!!)

Yeah, ... I almost forgot how you Ontario-ians drive. I've been all over the world and seen some crazy driving, but the closest I've ever come to .. you know .. actually dieing ... was outside Ottawa. (Twice. In about 5 minutes. Apparently when people cross the double-line to pass about 20 cars in a row, it is completely acceptable to run the traffic in the oncoming direction clear off the road rather than dart back into your own lane. Their own darn fault for not staying home, darn it!! )

Guess I digress. My only point was that it's not really THAT far from Ottawa to Toronto. Long enough that you don't go there to pick up a quart of milk, but not so long that you wouldn't just go every once in a while.
