New tank

Red Coral 780-378-0076 and AI 780-483-7027 also do custom tank builds. I would phone around to all 3 stores and compare prices.

100%
I have already been "bitten" very hard and just conculded an action to get my money refunded that took 3 months, in the mean time I have fish living in a 90 that I would rather see in a 300-350.

I am looking for a company, not a private fish keeper, so I have warranty and some come back in the future, also I have another project that I am currently working on that will be a 2000 gallon shark tank (i have looked at Big Al's, its not quite 2000, but still a nice tank) I want to do both projects with the same aquarium builder/installer.

So food for thought

Call Aquarium Illusions, they do custom tanks and will do installations as well. If an on-site build is required that can also be arranged.

You bet I will.
I spoke to Joshua from Marine Aquaria this afternoon, top bloke, let's see what he can come up with for a price and date.

My fish in my 90 will be so happy in their new home !

My engineers and plumbers are going to see the Big ALS tank in the next few days to start looking at viability studies, we have sourced 2 15 inch black reef tip sharks, that will set up home with a moray eels and some "colourful fishes" looking at some angels (large) and some triggers to fill in the spaces.

Heard the sump and filtration is a little on the bogus side, so looking at a 300-400 gallon tank that I fill fill with various sponges and sock filters, I will change them out weekly, also going to fill o tank filling system, by adding a 100 gallon salt mixing station, I should be able to pump clean water straight into the tank and the sump discharge excess water into the drain, if this works I can in theory do 100 gallons a week, weigh the salt, fill the 100 gallons RODI and turn on a power head to mix it up, then just turn on a tap to start the "water change" and refill the mixing station when it's emptied.

Quick question - would it help if I filled some of the sump with live rock and a generous cuc ? I really want to keep the water clean, especially with the sharks in the tank.
