What is the quality like on these ones now? THanks.

Quality is at least as good or even better, but I'm not sure of the price. Might be a bit higher.

Golds isn't using bow valley anymore?

Sweet, I can buy tanks there again!

i recently purchased a 33 gal at Gold's for $29.99 in January and the tank seems fine for me. ATM i'm using it as a sump. Other than that tis a gr8 deal i think.

Over the years I have sold a ton of Bow Valley (the company Gold's used to use) built aquariums. They have their issues as a vendor but very rarely do people have problems like cracking and leaking. I am actually having trouble remembering it ever happening although I'm sure it probably has at some time. You were just really unlucky.

The guys Gold's is now using is good too, the chances of you having a problem like that again are slim to none.

ok, sounds good... how much are they selling them for at the moment? Would you say this tank builder is more reliable than the previous one (bowvalley?)

Spikehs, I really don't think those tanks we had were built by Bow Valley. Perhaps Albert can confirm. Do you remember when that was ? I tried to search but the search function wasn't working at all for me.
