Getting tank built?

lastlight · #1 07-02-2009, 10:10 PM

I spent hours waiting out in front of that shop for meetings i'd setup over the phone. He told me over the phone one time that his guy had cut himself badly at the shop and he was taking him into the ER. Guess he didn't know I'd been parked in front of the empty shop all morning.

Anyone else what to kick BVA while they're already down?? Yes it takes a while to get your one tank, the builds huge orders for retailers all over Canada, I would understand why your one tank isn't his top priority. It takes time to get a tank from him, so if you want it in a few weeks, best go somewhere else. But his construction and quality far exceeds the price tag, he sells tanks for less than I can get the glass for, considerably less.

And yes he goes into old houses and steals old shower doors for his tanks

What other possible reason would the glass be etched.

So why did you buy a tank with crooked sides?

price was right, and once it was full your not looking at the glass your looking at whats in the glass. Its just my experience with the "construction and quality far exceeding the price tag"

Hilarious, obviously you thought it was good for the price so complaining seems pretty silly to me. FYI, a 120 gallon drilled runs for around $700 from concept here in Saskatoon.

I wasn't a complaint just my experience with a tank built by BVA. There is a few posts on here about people who still bought tanks from him and were not fully satisfied with them, but from what i have read the price was right. As per post 5 on here i had RC build my tank and i very happy with it, and judging by the price you just posted.... Im definitely happy with it.
