Best Place for Custom tanks?

[chris121277]

IMO if you want a cheap tank and don't care about the finish, then by all means go ahead and use him.

But if you have spent months planning a tank, 3 weeks building a stand and want everything perfect......spend the extra bucks.

Especially if you live out of province and can't even check out the tank before it is delivered to your house....don't do it. I just think that they thought since it was being shipped to B.C. they could just slap it together get caulking smears all over the glass (inside and out) and it didn't matter because I wasn't going to re-crate it and spend another $150 to ship it back.

Mitch will save money by buying unused glass crops left over from projects done by other glass shops. The glass is still new and just as good as anything else, it just saves him money which in turn saves you money. Sometimes the glass crops are frosted which will then be used for the base. They are not old shower doors, the rest of the glass may have been used to make a shower door but that's irrelevant. Pretty much all glass used in residential or commercial applications including shower doors has to be tempered. If you've ever tried to cut tempered glass you would know this myth has no truth to it what so ever.

no no just looking through build threads I have seen the prices ranges, I was talking about elite that I got the crap service from.

It's sad that your experience at Elite was so bad as the tank I got there from Jay is beyond anything I could have hoped for. The sump is awesome! Now I just got to get it all going...lol.

Im pretty picky when it comes to customer service and when I get a bad experience right away it shows to me there not worth my time no matter how good his tanks might look.

Jay != Colby.

I'm pretty sure you can deal directly with him if you want to these days. Jay's a good guy and does care.
