VERY custom tank builders in Calgary?

Seeing as Albert just built my tank in the fall, thought I would offer my 2 cents. I am fairly new to this hobby (< 1 year) and am realising a lot of it is trial and error. When I had my tank/stand built, I thought I had everything exactly the way I wanted it, and wouldnt want anything done differently. Now that is is set up & running, there are several things I would have done different on both the tank and the stand. Overall I am definately happy with the tank the way it is, but when I upgrade I know what I will do differently.

Seeing as you seem to know exactly what you want, I think you will be fine. They herbie for overflow is awesome as many others will attest to, but I recommend tracking a gate valve down, even though Albert will tell me to suck it up and be patient with the ball valve

Goodluck, cant wait to see the build thread!

LOL I hear ya!! I think I finally have my ball valve dialed in.. despite what Albert says it is a really is a pain in the backside! If I was to do it again I would order a gate online.

Had my tank built by Elite and was happy with it. Albert (golds) then convinced me of a few changes (specifically the Herbie) which he did for me, and I couldn't be happier. He also helped me with my piping and deisgn of the system. All my research was great, but talking to a guy who deals with aquariums for a living was an eye opening expereience. My best advice is Go Herbie!
