Don't go with bow valley in Calgary. I have had nothing but problems and they made my overflow 2inchs to low. Had to fix myself and quality isnt that great but they say you get what you pay for so be careful! I would pay more if you can afford it and get a better build. Just my 2 cents.

Please look through old threads to see trends. I can't say enough about Mitch and bow valley aquariums. if you look at those threads you'll notice that too.

Is there any reason you need to have a standard dimension tank custom made? There are always 90g set ups for sale here all the time and fish stores usually have them at great prices around christmas. I got a brand new 90g tank, stand and sump for under $400.

Now that is a great deal, and would be top notch quality tank. You should consider this!!!
