Bow Valley..They do nice fish tanks for a sweet price

I dont really have anybody else to compare to but I am having Concept do my builds and they are excellent. Denny has gone over and above my expectations. Great guy that loves the hobby and has been helpful from the first day I met him. Concept all the way.

Bow valley may have the worst reputation for false promises, long wait times and trying to rip off their customers ... I had to get visa to get my deposit back after waiting weeks and then being told it would be more than the agreed price

They've been awesome to me. If you have cash in hand they will bend over backwards for you. Cheapest place to buy tanks that I've seen

Concept is awesome to work with. You will be pleased with their customer service and workmanship

+1 for bow valley too. But it's a hit or miss. I had a great experience with them when I ordered my tank.

You just need to know how to deal with him. Visa does not equal to cash. Think about it

still ............ any payment should be seen as equal. you wouldnt want what has happened to many of the people i know to happen to you, its sad and just not right.

if you end up being out a 100$ no biggie right? well i know and have fixed the problems of many who were out thousands...not hundreds but thousands and brought tears as they never recouped that money( cash deal right)

these are family members, honest people who work hard for their money ,do they really deserve to be treated like that?


no of course not because its not right

thats all ill say on this


good luck!!

Welcome to the real world. If you are not willing to take a risk then dont do a cash deal. You as a buyer should of done your research before going in to a deal. It was really the buyers own stupidity to enguage in to cash deal with such a significant amount. Especially when they know they are dealing with a poorly rated vendor. I am not saying it right for the vendor to do such unethical acts. But comeon! The buyer is just plain stupid!

P.s. Cash is not equal to card when you deal with certain vendors. No paper trail = no liabilty. And think about taxes.
