Hi. I saw in a thread that you got some pretty good prices on used tanks. What province do you live in? I would have pm'd this to you but I dont know if you check your pm's or not.
Edit: Looks like you left general freshwater right after I made this thread...

Hey Rollin.
I'm in Calgary, I bought all my used tanks from the Bargain Finder. They are online now...Ads are not as recent at the paper, but you luck out sometimes.

just a quick note - if you do buy a used tank, remeber and ask how old the actual tank is. In the UK they're only guarenteed for 10 years for leakage, and after that you might want to think about re-sealing the tanks joints with silicone sealant.
you dont want to wake up at 3am with 300 pints of water to deal with....!
Good luck

:) Good point Roland. I've lucked out with all of mine, less than 2 years old all around. Be sure that when buying a used tank that you leak test it for a couple of days before setting it up. I do my leak testing in the garage just in case.:)
p.s My wife is from New Brunswick, where abouts are you at?
