Not sure about local builders. I will vouch for Dave @ Concept as they make great tanks for the money spent. If your in to getting it delivered it’s definitely worth a phone call.

Concept is the one virtually everyone I know uses for custom tanks. Make sure you have all your specs correct and have them double check sizes of drain holes etc.

appreciate the feed back Anthony, I'll follow up on the holes issue. I only have heard good things about them so far. Although i can't seem to find any pictures of their work on their site.

If you check out my build thread it’s a concept built tank. I picked it up at the end of March this year. I am happy with the way it turned out and the build quality is great. Dave was good to deal with and made every effort to show that Concept is still doing great things.

You can also try Raf and Diana at Aquatic Escapes (Google it) they are from North Vancouver. I'm not sure where they get their tanks from.
Myka,

Do you have any experience of the tanks from aquatic escapes out of North Van? I've not heard of those guys before and just curious if it's worth a shot or just to go for a marineland (or other bulk manufactured) tank.

I've always liked the idea of a concept tank, but shipping from Calgary to Vancouver, if I remember rightly, is almost the same as the cost of the tank.

Thanks,
Dunc

They just order custom tanks from Concept and charge you a mark up. Lol.
