Title: Custom tank builders in Ontario
Post by: alexv on January 03, 2023, 03:47:53 PM
Does anyone know about building a large(ish) glass tank in Ontario (preferably around Toronto area). I used to live in Ottawa and had a 220 gallon tank built for my through OVAS member Ray who had a tank builder in Toronto (if I remember correctly). I moved to the US in 2014 and had to sell my tank and all the equipment (you can see my post about the tank, set up and its inhabitants at the time here: http://ovas.ca/forum/index.php?topic=57207.0). Now I'm back in Canada and settled in the Kitchener area and I'm looking into building a similar set up (maybe even a bit bigger) and I'm looking for some reputable tank builders who can make a tank for my specs. Does anyone know anybody by a chance? I'm also not aware of any ovas-like groups in GTA (even though I'm sure there must be some, given the size of the population), but I'm still a fan of OVAS even though I no longer live in the area.

BTW, I was in Ottawa during the new year holidays and was disappointed to see that Big Al's in Kanata has been closed :(

You can try Miracles Aquarium.  They built wolfiewill's 300 gallon a few years back.

There is GTA Aquaria that you can probably ask your question.

Hi Alexv,

 There are a bunch of clubs in the Toronto area.
Check out the CAOAC link, and you can find a bunch, hopefully one close enough to you.
