'contact MUNSTER TANKS they get all their tanks made by them' is absolutely false. This statement is definitely not accurate information.

I'm a little confused, does Munster tanks build any of its own tanks? If not what service do you provide to justify increasing the cost of the product you provide?

Everyone, I mean everyone, including all the sponsors on this forum and all others, provide a product that they increase the price to make a profit. That is what all businesses do. If anyone wants to know what I provide and do, besides tanks, visit my threads on BCA Aquaria:

I didnt have a problem with you untill I read your post. This is a forum. It is a site for people to ask questions, get answers, share ideas and opinions. You can not censor that. I have every right to say that prices are high if i feel they are, does that mean that im slandering your product? Not in the least. I would love to hear someone come in and prove to me that the product is worth every penny i would be spending and what a superior product it really is. (Read the whole post, people stand behind Elite and tell everyone how great and professional his tanks are and you really get a good product for the price) Instead I get someone telling me that they dont like what im saying and that I should not contact them anymore?

Wow, this just gets better and better.. I too am confused. So the Sales Representative for Bow Valley/Source pretty much says they supply Munster with pretty much all of their tanks, but Munster says that isn't the case? Something doesn't add up? I guess I'm just curious more than anything else :-)

I guess this is where I should "correct" my first post.

Bow Valley Aquariums Services has in the RECENT past sold tanks to "Munster Tanks"
I guess there is no saying that they will or will not order from us in the future and using the word "we supply" in the post suggests that we are currently supplying to them.

When and if "Munster" does place another order with us, we will fill the order......

"The Tank Guy" As I see you only have 3 posts right now...welcome to Canreef! We have an excellent group of people on this forum (the best I've ever encountered) and everyone is very open to opinions.

That being said, I've always found that when everyone is civil, confusion about a topic can always be worked out quickly. It would probably be very helpful to list some of the manufacturers that you do use in sourcing your tanks, especially if they only provide to re-sellers and not the general public. That way, members can make their own judgements based upon the reputation of the manufacturer.

The brands available through Munster Tanks:

- Aqueon / Oceanic
- Hagen
- Marineland (Formerly Perfecto)
- Tenecor
- Top Fin
- AA
- Yi Ying
- Munster (My own brand)
- Others

There are several other manufacturers that I use and have access to.

The goal of Munster Tanks is to satisfy EVERYONE who inquires about a tank.

Who knows, someday I may become a sponsor on this forum, too!

As mentioned in a recent previous post, 'Munster Tanks has always promoted itself as a supplier of 'Premium Quality Monster Aquariums'. The company designs, builds, buys, in fact whatever it takes to get the customer what they want. If price is the main factor, I determine the course of action based on the application, budget, needs and requirements of the client.'

Thanks for the clarification, Rahim.

ooooo, Hi everyone, I'm from BCAquaria and wow.... this caught my eye lol...

I've actually dealt with Munsters quite a few times and heck almost all my tanks are from him!

I don't know if munsters is affiliated with any other companies but hey every tank i've gotten from him is in prestine condition! My first tank from him was a standard 90 gallon. nice clean black silicone =)

I also got a 400 gallon "monster" tank from him and man that tanks sweeeeet!

Just recently I've purchased 4 of the biggest sized rimless munster tanks and I must say I'm quite happy with them as I am using it for my selective breeding program of CRS =D

but yahhh kinda depressing to see this kinda stuff on a forum especially this being my first post! =/
