Details of the "low tide method" of tank moving?

[zoomin]

Yes, my fuzzy memory thinks it was your thread, Brad. Did you not also leave some fish in there in the little bit of water while you were moving it?

Brave man

I got some breathing room on the move date so I can order up the new tank, have it in place and move at my leisure.


Morphing this thread now, but anyways...

Has anyone ordered a custom tank from SeaStar in Victoria?

They say they can make *whatever I can imagine* but I have not ever seen their custom work, and I have not read anyone describing the work they have done. On the other hand, Concepts Aquarium out of Edmonton has lots of pictures and praise on their website, so I am leaning towards them for the to make the tank (54x28x28 Starfire on three sides).

Obviously, it would be nice to not have to pay the $$$ shipping and crating fee from Edmonton, but it works out to about the same price if you can believe it.

With Concept Aquarium, though, I am not going through any retailer, whereas SeaStar does not want to deal with the public so that quote was via a local retailer.

In redux, if I knew SeaStar would produce the same quality custom tank that Concepts would, I would definitely buy it from them, happy to pay the local retailer their markup instead of giving those hundreds of dollars to a shipping company.
