I ordered my first tank through IA 36 x 18 x 18 for $200 (reef ready with overflow) and since they were building a petcetera in Van, the shipping was free. I've received another quote for a 60 X 24 x 24 (150 gal.) with dual overflow and starfire front for $900 cdn. plus $100 to ship to Van. Sounds like a good deal and since I'm not in a huge hurry, I may be ready to order this spring.

One thing I have learned in this hobby is patience! Delays are seldom critical as I'm always behind schedule in my latest projects.

I would consider group buy if there was additional savings, but don't bet on getting anything sooner as I'm sure the larger the order, the longer it will take to put together.

Cheers,

Kevin.

Good prices. I wouldn't mind the 115g for 250 but I just got ahold of a 4ft acrylic.

Be very careful. From what I've read, the PPG starphire plant has never shipped any starphire glass to Calgary. Low-iron alternatives might be used instead, and simply called starphire.

After my experience with IA, all I can say is relax, be calm and expect to wait.

Default sorry

I should have mentioned or posted earlier but I'm no longer going to buy from IA. I had bought my plain 120g tank without any frills from Big Al's on Boxing day for $369. Hell of a deal. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
