BUT...
You also live in Calgary, apparently that makes a huge difference. Most people who live in Calgary get good service from them. If all you can do is telephone correspondance then he can make your life miserable.

My tank is a "Mitch" tank. A very long and painful process, and the end result (my tank) had a scratch on the front $$ glass. Noticed it when I got home and cleaned it. I know I didn't do it but couldn't prove it. Starfire too! Next time I'll happily pay more to buy from professionals.

I had no problems with them, but all i got was the glass and i put the tank together myself. only took them about a week as well. I got the 210g tank with starfire front for 700 bucks.and a small 18" cube tank. I also got all the silicone and buklheads.

scratches on tank
I've order two tanks from him and both had scratches on them. The first one i was able to sell and mitch gave me a discount on my second one. By the time i got my second one it had scratches too but it was 8 months into my project and i gave up and used it. i was just not prepared to delay for 1 year. i've never been lied so much by a single person. his receptionist would often sigh and criticize him for his empty promises when I explained my situation to her "But when I called Mitch yesterday, he told me he had sent it off already and I'm looking for the waybill info". Her response was something like "I don't know why he does that but they are very busy on another large order and your tank has not been made yet."
that scenario would happen no less that 5-6 times for each of my two tanks. lesson learned : order your tank 6 months in advance of when you need it.
