Best Place for Custom tanks?

[Aqua Man]

I was reading the posts here, pretty good stuff. I own a very reputable construction company, just south of Calgary, and been itching to get back into making some monster aquariums in peoples houses. We are lisenced, bonded and insured.

I would only consider a few projects per year and the systems must be over 2,000 gallons for me and my crew to take on. I am not really interested in taking your Walmart speacial 25 gal and cuting a hole in your wall... I am talking about good old steel and cement structures that will hold tanks up to 15,000 gallons in you basement. Are you drueling yet? LOL It can be done.

Red Coral built my tank last year, and I drove 16 hours round trip to pick it up If I had done a little more research, I might have had it done in Edmonton where it would have been a little closer, but honestly the tank I had built is beautiful...Starphire glass, polished and bevelled edges, eurobraced. The custom work coming out of RC is second to none, and like they say, you get what you pay for...and if paying a little extra means the build is done right the first time, it's worth it...and I don't loose sleep at night thinking about a tank failure, shaddy building techniques, or materials that were designed for something else...say...shower doors?

no no just looking through build threads I have seen the prices ranges, I was talking about elite that I got the crap service from.

It's sad that your experience at Elite was so bad as the tank I got there from Jay is beyond anything I could have hoped for. The sump is awesome! Now I just got to get it all going...lol.

Im pretty picky when it comes to customer service and when I get a bad experience right away it shows to me there not worth my time no matter how good his tanks might look.

Jay != Colby.

I'm pretty sure you can deal directly with him if you want to these days. Jay's a good guy and does care.

+1, Colby is out of the picture now anyways. I would give Jay a chance.

I myself would never deal with Colby again, even if he was in the biz still. But I would diffinately try to deal with Jay again. He does build an awesome tank, and mine is from him.

I would suggest trying to see tanks. I myself would offer my tank so you can see Jay's work, maybe others can offer theirs to view also. Then you can make an educated choice.

Happy Holiday's Everyone!!!
