yeah your upgrading. It always starts with this kind of question!!!!!! congrats jid man!! IAP or CFI are up here in pac northwest have no clue what it would cost to ship.
 
I love glass tanks. but a 300 gal would need a army to move it, just pick a stop and it will stay there for a long time.
 
I wouldnt even need my whole hand, i could lift that with two fingers (one being the thumb) while eating a sandwhich that i made with my feet. Thanks guys for all the help, ill have to have my friend call for quotes. Its amazing that this site is by far the most helpful, i guess its not amazing that its helpful, its just an amazing site!

Give Mitch a call @ Interamerican. He's in Calgary Alberta. He built mine.
It only weighed 900 lbs.

I'm looking for a new large tank and would love to give Interamerican a try, but I've heard a whole lot of bad feedback from them.
Any new info on them might help.

No new info, sorry. I still think he is in business. Jiddy, I don't have the link any more. He might have changed to Bull Valley Aquarium, but I can't say for sure. I know Vegas Mike also has a tank from him. Maybe try a little bit of searching.
 
I talked to someone there several years ago about a tank and he sounded really good. Prices couldn't be beat. He was going to make it and send it to his warehouse in Great Falls and I was going to pick it up there on a Saturday.
I tried to get an exact date, and that's where I started to get a little wary.
I looked for feedback on another forum and saw some problems.
Looks like the prices are still unbeatable.
 
I think that if you are not in a hurry, they are a good place. It seems that most of the problems arose when a delivery date had been mentioned, and then not met. I really don't think they let a certain person answer the phone anymore.:D
You are correct in saying that the prices are right tho. Right now it is the shipping that is gonna kill you.
Jiddy, wherever you order from, just make sure you get Starphire glass. You won't believe the difference between that and regular glass.
