Default Custom Tank

Hi! I'm a "newbie" here and am in the process of getting a custom tank set-up for my home/office. Based on feedback and what I've come across here there is someone called "Gary" who builds custom tanks here in Calgary, can someone provide me with his contact information as I have a potentially tricky set-up which I would like to leverage his expertise on before getting him to build it? Please either PM me or respond here.

Thanks!

I would contact a LFS that deals with Gary. I know Golds does not sure who else. I know from experience Gary doesn't really like to be contacted directly lol.

Thanks. I actually had Gary's number given to me from a helpful rep at Big Al's and consulted him about a year ago when I initially started looking into the hobby. Now that I'm ready, I seemed to have misplaced it and am trying to look for it again. If you're able to provide, please & thanks!

If its the same "Gary" then he built my tank as well. a custom 8 ft. long 220gallon with with internal coast to coast overflow with Starfire front glass. here are a couple pics of my build I did a couple weeks ago. The nice gents at Ocean City arranged the build of the tank and the 1"1/2 welded steel stand for me. Its only been running for a couple weeks now, I just got my 6 foot long 125 gallon sump (also made by Gary) installed this weekend. the contents of my 90 gallon look so small in there. need a ton of live rock and some new tennants
