Default Where does one get a large aquarium in Canada? (200-240 gal)

I have been looking for a while with no luck. I want a good quality reef ready tank but most places don't order anything over 130 gal where I am from let alone reef ready. Does anyone know of a place where I can either order a tank or get a tank made and drive to get it? I am in Kamloops BC so I am really hoping someone knows the answer.

Order a custom build, it's usually more cost effective than buy new in store.
Ask GlassDude... He builds!

My recommendation is to stay away from bow valley aquarium in Calgary. I had got him to build my 500 gal and a few others built for ppl i knew also with nothing but poor quality workmanship and I know others that have had them build from them at later dates with the same opinions of quality.
