That's Mitch at bow valley. Depending what you're looking for it can be good or bad. The tanks are solid and cheap, if it's something in stock you'll get a good deal. The issues sometimes come from delays for custom tanks, some have even waited years, many cancel the orders. However I think lately has been better but you'll have to find someone who has dealt with him on a custom build recently.

From everything I have read here, my suggestion would be Concept if your shopping in Calgary.

I can also confirm that B&I is Mitch from Bow Valley.

Personally, I would go with a tried any true company and would suggest Concept Aquariums in Calgary. Fast, excellent customer service, and good pricing.

LOL agreed.

I would go with Dave at Concept. If you're going to come to Calgary anyway to have a tank built you will be happier and less frustrated at the end of the day.
