Unhappy Miracle Aquariums constipation

Anybody here dealing or have dealth with Miracle Aquariums? I"m having some issues and would like to find out if i should proceed with them, i'm even having trouble paying for God sake, i have to go through a gauntlet of micro procedures. How did you find their services. I have another competitor who wants my business and i'm considering it, CAD LIGHT Aquariums.

I'll second that. They make awesome tanks, are awesome guys and, when I was building my own tank, they gave me a tutorial on how to build awesome tanks. They know their stuff!

years ago all you'd hear about were people across the USA ordering high-end tanks from Aquarium Obsessed and Miracles. The first went under and I've heard more and more stories about issues with quality and service from Miracles in the past few years. I'd personally go elsewhere.

I'm not really sure if constipation is problem specific to Miracle...but I hear the solution is offten more ruffage in the diet.


Anyways...I'll also put in a thumbs up for Concept. They built me a custom 10.5ft L x 2ft Hx 3ft D tank in my basement from scratch. The price was awesome, the service was phenomenal, and it was so very quick!

Yup, I'd go concept aquariums all the way. They built my two sumps and a bunch of other tanks. Very happy with these guys. I recommend them 100%.

I had a tank built from miracles about 6 years ago when I lived in Ontario. Tank was a beaut but it sprang a leak about a year into its life. They replaced it at no charge but still was quite the hassle. I never delt with them directly I went through an lfs. My impression is that they give priority to the big fish and they don't worry to much about small custom builds. Seeing all the nice builds coming out of concept I would probably go with them if you are willing to pay the shipping.

I purchased a tank from concept aquariums in Calgary. its shipping next week.
Denny is very easy to deal with.
the tank price was cheaper than miracles and for some reason the shipping quote was cheaper.. lol I guess Calgary is closer to Thunder Bay then Toronto.

call Denny he will make your choice very easy

i would just get quotes from each place look here and that other well known forum i will not name . for pics and build threads.
you may pay more for shipping but in the long run is it worth the little bit extra $ for a killer tank?
