I am the owner of a retail pet store and have been buying tanks from Bow Valley for about 10 years. I have never seen a big tank of Mitch's leak in all this time. The notion that Mitch uses shower doors is not exactly fact as he does use recycled glass for smaller tanks which are used for reptiles and are not meant to hold water. I actually have a 210 gallon rimless tank in my living room that has a center overflow which was built by Bow Valley. In my dealings over the years they have been extremely slow.

As for BVA I think the build quality is fairly good, and the overall product is excellent value. I have owned a BV tank myself and never had a problem with it. I also know many others using them and never have I heard of one failing in anyway. Second what's wrong with recycling? Last time I checked this is a good thing, right? As long as the build is solid and the viewable panes are mint what exactly is the difference, if it saves you a little money and keeps the landfills a little less full it's a good thing. Third, you can get whatever you want, he will build to your specs and use whatever glass you tell him. The only issue really is time, which you need a lot of to get a custom tank from him.
