I find what you have to do is call him a few days before your tank is suppose to be ready, then call him the next day to confirm and call him the morning you are going to pick up your tank, so that he can build the tank in the morning before you go. Thats what i had to do but it got done.

Starfire or Starphire or Low iron glass are all pretty much the same thing ... it is like when someone comes into my showhome asking about whether we build with a silent floor cause they saw the ads with the elephants walking on the floors in a magazine or on TV

silent floor = engineered floor joist

starfire = low iron glass

Mitch = painfully slow to build tanks

FWIW, not this Mitch....

(Carpentersreef)

I buy my tanks from Wai's.
Always happy with them.



Silent floor = glued and screwed...+ engineered lumber (emphasis on the glued and screwed....)

They still go by the name Interamerican - especially in the US market. Us local yocals are the only ones that still know them as Bow Valley.

And Mitch,
Thanks for clearing that up - I know that the guys at Bow Valley check out this forum because they have mentioned it to me before. I always wondered if you were that Mitch.

Danny gets the glass cut to spec and builds it himself.
He's got a pretty cool 1100g corner tank in the works right now.
