Did you mention it to anyone at the shop?
I'm sure they would have resolved the issue for you.
Can fix a problem till you know it exists.

Mitch does still work there, just not nearly as much.

Nope because it sat empty for a year. Like I said, I only noticed it after it was filled.

Are they still using shower doors for the bottoms of tanks?

The tank builders have been mentioned, so I have no names to add. I did, however, stop by Elite a few days back. I had a few minutes and was driving by- so I thought I would look at the livestock. Instead I spent the whole visit drooling over the tanks that were sitting on the floor. The attention to detail, the beveling of the surfaces and yes, the one piece euro braces were amazing. The other shops mentioned do fine work as well and I would not hesitate to buy a tank from most small shops as the owners will do what is necessary to make you happy. Having said that, some of the features that I saw on those tanks are not (as far as I know) available from other builders and it is actually worth stopping in just to see them and look at the features.

Please buy the square one so it is safe for me to go back in there. Bow Valley on the avoid list for the same reason.

Jays tanks at Elite are impressive. The care to detail is second to none IMO.

I have a tank i bought from riverfront, but was built by Bow Valley im quite sure, and i would never buy from either again.
