So you would have to buy Aquagiant parts or find someone who deals in metric parts.

Is this something you encountered Kev? It was just recently they told me this.

Ya that is exactly it... everything is in metric
so they dont have ANY parts available for me to even fix my current issue
hence i just wanna say Fxxx it and start brand new

If you're going new Big Al's also has a decent selection. They're a bit cheaper than AI because everything that AI has is custom built in Edmonton, while Big Al's stocks and orders brand name tanks. Both have their benefits and their drawbacks, so it depends on what you're looking for.
