Tanks from Source Aquatics Calgary? Too good to be true??

Wow, this just gets better and better.. I too am confused. So the Sales Representative for Bow Valley/Source pretty much says they supply Munster with pretty much all of their tanks, but Munster says that isn't the case? Something doesn't add up? I guess I'm just curious more than anything else :-)

I guess this is where I should "correct" my first post.

Bow Valley Aquariums Services has in the RECENT past sold tanks to "Munster Tanks"
I guess there is no saying that they will or will not order from us in the future and using the word "we supply" in the post suggests that we are currently supplying to them.

When and if "Munster" does place another order with us, we will fill the order......

"The Tank Guy" As I see you only have 3 posts right now...welcome to Canreef! We have an excellent group of people on this forum (the best I've ever encountered) and everyone is very open to opinions.

That being said, I've always found that when everyone is civil, confusion about a topic can always be worked out quickly. It would probably be very helpful to list some of the manufacturers that you do use in sourcing your tanks, especially if they only provide to re-sellers and not the general public. That way, members can make their own judgements based upon the reputation of the manufacturer.

The brands available through Munster Tanks:

- Aqueon / Oceanic
- Hagen
- Marineland (Formerly Perfecto)
- Tenecor
- Top Fin
- AA
- Yi Ying
- Munster (My own brand)
- Others

There are several other manufacturers that I use and have access to.

The goal of Munster Tanks is to satisfy EVERYONE who inquires about a tank.

Who knows, someday I may become a sponsor on this forum, too!

As mentioned in a recent previous post, 'Munster Tanks has always promoted itself as a supplier of 'Premium Quality Monster Aquariums'. The company designs, builds, buys, in fact whatever it takes to get the customer what they want. If price is the main factor, I determine the course of action based on the application, budget, needs and requirements of the client.'

Thanks for the clarification, Rahim.

ooooo, Hi everyone, I'm from BCAquaria and wow.... this caught my eye lol...

I've actually dealt with Munsters quite a few times and heck almost all my tanks are from him!

I don't know if munsters is affiliated with any other companies but hey every tank i've gotten from him is in prestine condition! My first tank from him was a standard 90 gallon. nice clean black silicone =)

I also got a 400 gallon "monster" tank from him and man that tanks sweeeeet!

Just recently I've purchased 4 of the biggest sized rimless munster tanks and I must say I'm quite happy with them as I am using it for my selective breeding program of CRS =D

but yahhh kinda depressing to see this kinda stuff on a forum especially this being my first post! =/
