He is advertising on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150138330086#description. He is in Flinton, Ontario which is just North of Hwy. 7 by Kaladar. I may just take a drive out there this week and see him. :)

Yeah, but that would be for a terraruim (sp?). He only makes aquariums up to 70 gallons because the glass he uses is only 1/4".

Nice fellow.  Ask him if you need custom sizes; I have unique needs for the rework I want to do this year and although he doesn't have the long glass I was hoping for in stock right now, he DOES have some great breeding tanks for sale; 55gallon in breeder dimensions (36"L x 22"W x 16"H) for $35 each...

No he doesn't drill tanks. But if you're going out that far for a tank, ya might as well swing down to Jim's at Forty Fathoms and get the tank drilled there. :)

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

how did I know?    ::)  ;) 
I could fit a bunch in the back of the santa fe, but I could only take one passenger then. I don't need a tank, but if you need the ride, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I could definitely use one of those 55 breeders for a Sump on my current setup! If I am going I might try to sneak one home! :) If not and someone else is going, I want one :)

Thanks,

I second that. If anyone DOES manage to go, I want two for sumps :)

I breefly thought a fish wall of 9 of them would be very sexy, but then reality kicked in and I knew my wife would kill me If I purchased another 9 tanks + a sump LOL!!!

I might get away with the sump, the rest Hmmm no.

So Chris are you not planning to go and get a bunch for your new fishroom expansion? $35 each is a steal and the 114 gallon tanks for $100 would work for small Frontosa colonies (1M 4F), although a longer tank is more desirable.

I haven't ruled it out.  :)  But, have to get through a vacation with the family before expansion thoughts occur.

I may be reconfigging what I have before I expand.  I want some BIG tanks, and the laundry room move doesn't look like it's happening as fast as I'd like; plus, I barely have enough time to take care of my existing stock!

It's a 1/2 hour North of Belleville. Just take Hwy. 7 from Ottawa until you get to Kaladar ~2 hours drive depending on the driver. LOL Then head North for a little. :) 

I will definately be going to see this guy. I'm going to call him tomorrow and go out on Friday to take a look see and get some questions answered. If you guys/gals have any questions, post them now and I'll ask him on Friday.

...and NO I can't bring any tanks back for you. My wife will have her SUV on Friday and I only have a Jetta!

...and NO I won't strap tanks to the roof for you guys/gals either! LOL

However if any of you want to wait until late August, I could make a trip down with a skidoo trailer and bring as many tanks back as you want as long as you're all willing to split the cost of the gas.

Shrimpy, if you go down there with taht trailor at the end of August, count me in, i will get a terrarium or two and some smaller tanks. I will pay half the gas depending on how many people order tanks.
