    Good day all TASA Members,

    Firstly Happy New Year, May You All Be Blessed in 2021 With A Few More Tanks

    Looking for assistance from Members especially in the Durban area and Surrounding Areas.

    1. Looking for a Glass Supplier that has quality glass and that is skilled in cutting glass along with all the trimmings eg. polishing and bevelling edges that you would highly recommend in the Durban or surrounding areas.

    2. Secondly looking for a highly recommended Tank Builder in Durban or surrounding areas that you have used before that does quality work. Preferably someone reputable that knows what they doing and has a gaurantee on their workmanship against leaks.

    Please send your recommendations for the above. Im sure this will also be beneficial for anyone new to the hobby in the same area.

    Regards

    Colonel Shrimp

    Hey @Colonel Shrimp and happy new year to you too.

    I've used a guy maybe 7years ago by the name of Justin. He is based in Chatsworth which is a bit of a schlep to get to but his workmanship and quality were spot on. He also had some livestock in a shed like store in his back yard but they were also very greatly priced and quality was good.

    I can't remember pricing but I remember it was cheap and he had braced the tank top and bottom inside and on top. Not sure where you're located but I'm sure I can find his number of you're willing to go to Chatsworth to collect
