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

Sorry, I don't have any information about Aquatic Escapes. I can't vouch for them either - I've never seen their work. They used to be active on the forums here years ago, and I used to see Raf at J&L Aquatics going in for supplies when I worked there over 10 years ago. So they've been in business for at least 10 years, that's a good sign.

Good to know, thanks.

And Myka, I'll give concepts a call again as it's been a couple of years and see what they can do.

Thanks to you both.

You were right, I was quoted only $100 to ship to a depot in Vancouver or $175 to a house for a 4ft tank. That's pretty fair I'd say.

what did you end up choosing ? im wasn't offered getting the tank delivered to the house though but sounds like a good option since i don't own a pick up.
