There is one ATB dealer listed in Quebec on this website. It looks like the website also allows you to request to order from them directly.

ah yeah reefconcept. She's got the massive 750g L shape on RC. Let us know how your search goes. They're low draw and a bit more reasonably priced than red dragons.

Yup - they're nice and quiet an push good flow. I run a flowstar 1500 on my 100g tank, and I have to dial it back just a bit.

Well what the deuce? Where did you buy it? I'm guessing from the USA?

I got it brand new from a friend of a friend (ok, maybe it fell off the back of a truck, but a man's got to feed his family right?).

Try saltysupply or TBaquatics. I don't think premium aquatics has them.

i would talk to the guys at Reef Specialty. They are great to deal with and regularly deal with Canadians. They carry the ATB pumps.

Reef Concept didn't respond to my email so I went to ATB USA and have ordered from them. Thanks!

Yes it is the same and the shipping is by USPS and reasonably priced.

Anyone know why there is such a massive difference in price between the 1500 and 1800? it's only 300 extra gph. I'd need the 3200 anyways but I'm curious...

1800 has the custom volute and possibly a custom impeller. Stronger while using less power.

If I recall correctly, the 1500 pumps less in volume, but can pump higher than the 1800.
