Canadian Starphire Tank Customers

[Bryan]

Hello:

Anyone in Canada ordered a Starphire tank. I am in Vancouver and am shopping around for a custom tank. Curious as to what the costs are. I have been quoted 750 to 850 for a 60 x 20 x 23 with Euro bracing and a drilled hole for a tank made locally.

Wondering if it's worth looking into a starphire tank. Shipping costs?

There were a few fellows that have recently purchased them on the MOPS BB back east. Do a quick search over there and I'm sure you'll get some answers. I think one of the only negative things I've heard about the starfire tanks is the time it takes to get one.

i'm curious to know if the price you mentioned is from seastar here in vic or a manufacturer in van. if it is from van you could always see what seastar would charge you. they did a nice job on our custom 135. shane

Yes, I received quotes from SeaStar and Delta. I had a custom Seastar made acouple of years ago and I thought the work was OK. I never did fill it up because it turned out to be too bif fpr the space I wanted to put it in. Long story<g> I called InterAmerican Pet Supply yesterday and they quoted me not much more than the local guys for the same tank including shipping except it would be made with Starphire glass. I might go for it. Down side is I would be looking close to two months before it arrived, theya re swamped with orders. They also offer a 5 year warranty. Seastar offers a 3 year but I have heard they are having troubles and may no be around much longer. Delta only offers a 3 month warranty. Kinda lame.
