Default New tank

I am buying a new system

Looking for recommendations, glass or acrylic, not really worried.

Sorry I should clarify, I'm looking for someone to build and install at my house in St Albert, a 300-350 gallon reef system, would like a drilled system.
I don't mind whether it's glass or acrylic, would like the following though
Tank
Plumbing
ATO
Stand
Sump pump
Sump
Lights hanging

That's it really.

Or if anyone can suggest someone who builds/installs in Edmonton/st Albert that I can contact.

I have already been "duped" once so I am looking for someone who has a great reputation.

Red Coral 780-378-0076 and AI 780-483-7027 also do custom tank builds. I would phone around to all 3 stores and compare prices.

100%
I have already been "bitten" very hard and just conculded an action to get my money refunded that took 3 months, in the mean time I have fish living in a 90 that I would rather see in a 300-350.

I am looking for a company, not a private fish keeper, so I have warranty and some come back in the future, also I have another project that I am currently working on that will be a 2000 gallon shark tank (i have looked at Big Al's, its not quite 2000, but still a nice tank) I want to do both projects with the same aquarium builder/installer.

So food for thought

I buy glass and let David at aquagiant cut it. Best deal in town for glass and cutting. As for build quality, he seems like he knows Wut he is looking at. He even knows how to bend glass. His tanks at the shopp all seem to hold water well enough to put things in, so it may be worth an inquiry if anything!

Aquagiant built my tank

Here's my build

David will build your tank at your location, and it if it's standard sizes, then you can buy the glass with factory polished edges.

David built most of the tanks for Marine Experience, Neal can chime in on that.

Bob, aka Codfather purchased his glass from Aquagiant and assembled himself.
