Bow Valley Aquatics has been great in my history with them and good for a price conscious aquarist.

Denis at Gold aquariums is doing some nice work, they are replacing many of their tanks and what they have built are very nice and well designed.
Actually Bow Valley is now building Gold's tanks. I have dealt with him on a professional basis and wont deal with him again... ever.

I 2nd Carmen here about checking out Red Coral.

Really!!! I will have to ask Dennis about that, as they don't look like Bow Valley tanks that I have ever seen. They look better than any Bow Valley tank I have actually seen.

Hmmmmm....

I would talk to Kevin @ Red Coral also, if that is the case.

I can say the tanks that Dennis @ Gold's is getting look very nice. They even have small spacers inbetween all seems in order to get proper silicone connections between glass. Very nice work there.

So it's a CNC laser cutter, or water jet cutter? That's an expensive eurobrace when you look at the cutt-off, labour and machine time.
