A.G.E. tank's

Just Wondering if anyone has an AGE tank in Calgary?
I would just perhaps like to see one in person.

I think I may go ahead with my order on one, but I am just a bit hesitant due to cost. I may wait and save another 6 months or so, but I might just order it now and build up equipment as i go.

I miss my reef

It's a hybrid tank, with a PVC bottom. Counter sunk holes for closed loop etc...

In my Opinion one of the best you can buy, but I have only seen one and it was awhile ago, I guess i just thought seeing one in person again would make be bite the bullet and get it.

This is what got me going on one a long time ago, but I had a 200 gallon...now that I want to get back into it, I figure do it right.

I am thinking of getting the frag tank local though...it might be THE display till I can afford all of the equipment for the AGE tank.

shipping is a bit though....without that i could buy a lot of stuff.....

incidentally here is a tank from them with almost exact dimensions I want...

Basically it would look almost the same, but I am contemplating a skinny overflow...Too many trips overseas I guess.

I won an A.G.E. tank at the last MACNA. I couldn't figure out how to get it home from Dallas and since it was only a 65, I sold it on the spot. It pretty much instantly paid for much of my trip. They are nice tanks.

Thats my problem, without the shipping costs I could afford a lot more equipment right away, instead of doing in a half-assed sort of way until I eventually got what i wanted ... equipment wise.

I am also unsure if I want a tank that big still. I did...I Do...but I Don't..

I have yet to talk to Concept regarding a tank....they seem to be the goto people in Calgary now, I might have to check into it. for some reason I have 135 gallons or so in my head....then again ....sigh the reefing nightmare has begun and i don't even have my tank

Their tanks are certainly neat in that they've managed to bond glass to both a PVC bottom and an acrylic one piece eurobrace. However I doubt those bonds are as strong as an all glass tank. For less money you could get concepts to build a tank entirely out of starphire with a one piece euro that's starphire as well I'm guessing. Machined edges and no shipping too. I know you're planning to call them just adding my 0.02.
