Hi Mycat99

I'm sorry to hear about your tank. Is there any chance that it's fixable? Overflows can usually be cut off and perhaps a new one installed in its place.

We might be able to work a deal to fix it for you. It's obviously a real disappointment for you now and that's not really s great way to start a new tank build.

Just a thought.

Nice offer...

Hate to say it but you are caught in what they say in latin, caveat emptor {let the buyer beware} unless you are a member of HA's and are willing to use strong arm tactics {I don't advise this} Suck it up and either sell the tank to somebody else or go with what you have and make it nice. Generous offer from a fellow Canreefer above. My 2 cents.

Makes a person wonder how the heck these guys stay in business! I guess Calgary is big enough that they can burn a lot of bridges and still keep new customers coming in.

If you aren't able to resolve this with your credit card company (or paid cash), I would talk to Brad at Concept about his offer. For a bit more, you might be able to work it into the tank you wanted. Depending on hole location, it might be as simple as removing that pane and flipping it.

Also, any time something like this happens, the name of the other party doesn't need to remain quiet. As long as a review is presented in a mature sensible nature, it's allowed on the board.

For a lot of people it comes down to price........ I should know from my first tank I built! This time I went to what I consider one of the best "concept" I feel your pain on this one mycat99 as I was told he would get it right if I bought him a case of beer! As they say you get what you pay for :0( all you can do now is make the most of it until the desire to go bigger gets to strong lol. Good luck and you should post some pictures so we can see what it's like before and after.
