If I would have to guess I would say it was Bow Valley just from what you have described what happened & other people's experiences.

If you paid with a credit card contact the card issuer and explain the situation and request a refund. Most card companies will help you out with merchant fraud. They are not providing the goods as purchased by prepayment. And to expect you to pay $20 a day for storage is outrageous!

I would get in touch with the better business bureau also.

Isn't it funny how we think the same things just from little snippets! I read this as soon as it was posted and thought good old BV in action again you should name and shame so we all know who you ar talking about here to by the way.

I'm not sure if BV has changed a lot in the last couple months but I bought an 150g from Mitch a couple months ago and he had it ready in a week, and exactly how i wanted it. I would deal with him again in a heart beat.

Hi Mycat99

I'm sorry to hear about your tank. Is there any chance that it's fixable? Overflows can usually be cut off and perhaps a new one installed in its place.

We might be able to work a deal to fix it for you. It's obviously a real disappointment for you now and that's not really s great way to start a new tank build.

Just a thought.

Call me a redneck and good for you for keeping your cool. I myself at the time would have snapped and gave him the ole boney five to the snotbox. Hopefully it can be altered to your likings.
