Default Custom Built Tank

Hi everyone! I found this site about 2 weeks ago and it has alot of good information.
I live in Brooks and will be looking for someone to build me a new tank, 84" x 24" x 30" with 2 x corner overflows and a total of 8 holes drilled in it for a in wall project I have planned. Can anyone suggest any places they know of that will do this kind of work.
Thank you for your time.
Ray

Hey Rigger, welcome to Canreef.

You might try InterAmerican in Calgary, they've built tanks for several board members: http://go.to/interamerican

Hi Rigger,you can also try Aqua Enterprises,I just had a 90g made there for $120,$100 for the tank,$20 for the hole.I'll box in the overflow myself.
He did a good job,not as good as InterAmerican,but if price is an issue its worth giving him a call.I don't know if I can post his # here,but you can PM me for it.If cost isn't an issue(not that IA is expencive I'm just cheap )I'll second the vote for InterAmerican.

Wow teevee thanks for that link.I think I may be buying my tank there.The reverse 90(48x24x18) you suggested in another thread.There prices are unreal.A friend of mine is also interested in a custom tank(96x12x18).I think I will tell him to check them out.

I've heard good things about Bow Valley Aquariums. Ask for Mitch.

Bow Valley Aquariums = InterAmerican, among other things.
