Shallow Tank in Canada?

[Mcluett]

Hi All,

I am looking for a shallow nano tank that I am able to get to Canada. I realize I will probably have to get it custom made but I was wondering if anyone knew any manufactures that ship to Canada or are located in Canada?

Tank size I am looking for is roughly 18" x 18" x 10". I am flexible on the size but I do like the look of shallow rimless tanks.

Also I am on the East coast of Canada as well.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Glass cages ships to Canada. The site says so at least, but it also says to email for a quote. They have an 18" x 18" x 12" for $180.

Excellent. I sent them an email. I feel like shipping is going to kill me though.

Thank you.

Talk to your local mom and pop store. Usually it needs to be a decent quality store but many of them can custom order a tank for you. Another idea would be to talk to a local plastic shop and have them make you one from acrylic. Both of these could be a bit costly for the size but if your budget it $200-250 for a glass cages equivelent finding one local could work out. Another option is to look into ordering a Mr. Aqua tank from an online suplier, these are pretty nice tanks and rimless, caried by a few suppliers. May not be the exact dimensions you want though.

I was in the same boat as you, I wanted a 24 x 24 x12 30g shallow tank but no one in canada sold the one I wanted, and i didnt really want to pay as much for shipping as the tank was worth so... i built my own. Called a local glass shop, got 5 pieces of glass cut and bought some good adhesive reef safe silicone. I was a little hesitant of building my own but it was very easy and cost me under $100. Tank is just cycling now, it looks great. im glad i tried tank building and will do it again.

not sure where you are in canada, but if you're in Montreal, Aquamarin has been around for a long time. I had my aquarium built my them (an ackward 44'' long, 22'' high, 4'' wide), which has been running for 4 years no problems. he's great.

+1 Miracles is in Canada.

They shipped all the way down to southern United States to me, I'm sure they can ship it to you.

Unfortunately Glass Cages said they didn't think they could do it, shipping would have been $400 dollars to me.

I also requested a quote from Miracles and I am just waiting to hear back from them. Where they are in Canada I am hoping shipping is a bit more reasonable.

Also I have just reached out to the local shops to inquire about pricing.

I am hoping it doesn't come down to me having to do it myself.

Oh also I am in Halifax, so Montreal isn't too far I guess. Could be a nice drive

a very nice drive!

there are a few LFS that are seriously impressive aswell, if you wanted to have a look.

If you haven't been to MTL before, and you decide to go, send me a PM, i can help

Thanks. I have been a couple times but before I was into SW tanks, so I never really stopped into any shops.
