Give Dave at Concept a PM you would be surprised with what comes back price wise. The build is 10x better than BV tanks and he is alot easier to deal with.
+1,000,000 Dave is hands down a super nice guy to deal with.

Thanks for the update Jerry. The ad on Kijiji is pretty fresh though...kinda weird.

I am actually going to Calgary on Tuesday to pick up a new reef tank from Dave at Concept. I wanted to pick up a few small tanks too, but the time frame is too short (didn't think of it until today when a local deal for some used tanks didn't work out 100%).

Let us know how this Plays out. I know a member on here that bought a tank through them. When the day came and he went to get it the tank wasnt even assembled. But the owner said for a case of beer he could have it ready in an hour. Its too bad he paid in full otherwise i am sure he would have told them to FO

B & I IS BVA....You just don't have to deal with Mitch directly.Untill you have to wait a week to a month longer for your tank to be completed.Then it becomes clear who you are dealing with. lol
BUT, I have had 2 tanks built there.And I got what I expected for the price.Other than the wait both times...I was happy with with the product.

I just picked up my new 150g(48x30x24) from B&I today ordered it 1 week ago today. I dealt with Mitch directly through the whole process, and must say he was nothing, but great with me. Tank looks awesome cant wait to get it setup.

Mitch is cool...I think sometimes he just pushes the custom work back ,when he has a large order to fill for stores.
You caught him when things were slow .
Put up some pics when the setup begins.
