Tank builders/repairers Cape Town

Can anyone suggest any tank builders or repairers in the Cape Town area?
TIA

 

Theres only really two places in Cape Town and thats Sams and Pet Adventure. They are both on the questionable side when it comes to Siliconing! Sometimes they do a decent job, othertimes the tanks start to leak according to the reports I've heard! I currently have Pet Adventure building me three small breeding tanks, so I'll let you know how good a job he does when I get them!

The only other place I can think of is in Somerset West, but he's a Marine dude, but builds tanks regularly, so could be of use? Trying to remember the name of the place?? I'm sure it was something like NAAM or summut like that?? Henk recommended them to me some time ago, but as of yet, I've not gotten them to build me anything!

Thanks Big g.
Not really interested in getting a store to build/repair tanks. Would rather deal with someone more 'reputable', if you know what I mean.

 

Ok, Look into NAAM, as they are pretty reputable! Do a Google!

Other than that, you may find one of our locals here on the forum could do it, but I doubt there are any other palces other than stores that do it!?

What is it you want doing? A repair or a build? If its a repair, what size tank is it?

At the moment it is a repair. I have a small 46X32.5X32.5 that needs it's base replaced.
I am also trying to build up a bit of a database of companies, etc. for future reference.

 

If the base is broken, then basically the whole tank will prob need to be taken apart and totally rebuilt, but at least you have the other glass to save you some cash! Where ever you take it, try and get a thicker base, help avoid it cracking again?

I have found Pet Adventure is the cheapest for glass! I even went to a couple of glass dealers, and they were significantly more expensive! Maybe go buy the glass and do the repair yourself??

LOL, with my luck and clumsiness, I will probably end up break all of the other sides as well.

 

BigG that would be NAAC.... and they are actually a shop

 

NAAC! Thats the place!!

Cheers Henk!!!

They replaced to one pane on my 2.5 and did an amazing job!
