Question Anybody Deal With Bow Valley Aquariums?

Been out of the hobby for a while and getting back into the swing of things.

What are your thoughts?

Are they any good?

Any feedback on positive / negative on product quality and experiences would be appreciated.

I am looking for a large monster tank and want to know your thoughts. Any other good manufacturers, other than Bow Valley?


Thanks.

I didn't know Gary shipped tanks ? :-)

You know, I always wondered why threads that speak badly of vendors get locked or deleted.. If a vendor has done wrong to a customer, that customer should be allowed to speak his/her peace. To avoid these sorts of things the vendor should be putting the customer first and avoiding these situations in the first place. Anyway, just my two cents.

In my opinion Elite builds the nicest tanks in Calgary. They'll be building my next tank for sure and the nice thing is I won't need suction cups and extra hands to move it.

I would suggest being careful whoever you buy from. I have not personally purchased an aquarium from Bow Valley (formerly known as Inter American I believe). Before I bought my tank I did internet searches and asked around a lot and viewed various threads. I am happy that I bought an Oceanic tank (actually four Oceanic tanks).

I have a tank and sump I bought second hand and they were built at BV. No complaints so far although it is not fully set up and running yet. I filled it with FW did the plumbing and ran it, no leaks in the tank or sump.
