YES THEY WILL STILL BUILD TANKS FOR CANADIANS. I TALKED TO THEM TODAY BUT I FIND THEIR PRICES TO BE NOT THAT GREAT AFTER YOU FIGURE IN THE EXCHANGE. I THINK THAT DEZ FROM AQUARIUM ILLUSIONS HAS AS GOOD OR BETTER PRICES

I have had Mitch build a tank for me. I only had a smallish 33 gallon cube type tank built. I found the cost, and service to be excellent.

I know from reading on reefcentral that there is a fellow from Toronto that jsut received a 120 gal from IA a few days ago. $900 including shipping to TO for a fully customized, drilled, w/overflows, starfire tank, I'm not sure but I believe that is pretty reasonable.

Good luck,

Rob

Umm Aquarium Illusion's get's their tanks from Inter American.
So if you can go straight to the source it will be cheeper or the same.

compared to anyone elses tank's, other than diy, IA has the best prices around.

Teevee, I can understand him wanting to stop selling localy. Ie. as in calgary localy.. much easyer to sell to a local fish store and have everyone go to them..

is there anyone who lives close to inter-american and can stop by there and ask a question for me.. (or call with out it being long distance)
I want to know the aproximite shipping on a tank that is 280 to 300 gal from Calgary to victoria.

thanks.
Steve

for sure. he's mowing his wholesale clients lawns when he sells retail. however it's possible that he gives his wholesale clients a better price than the public, and as such, it may actually be just as cheap from a fish shop... however i don't know how much cheaper he could possibly go.
