AGA overflows

Hey all, does anyone know if the AGA 120 RR should come from the manufacturer with the Overflow kits included in the price?? I have seen that some tanks do, and I want to see if I got taken for an extra $180. Thanks

The overflow kits are not included,...BUT you should have paid no more than $50 for each of them. That would be $100 for both. If you paid $180 you have been ~~> !

In fact, I Durso standpipes are better and cost even less.

yeah AGA tanks come without the kit.

i used to work in a pet department at a bargain store by me, and AGA was in our supplier book. the cost for a store to get the overflow kit is $29.50, so although you didnt kinda pay to much, finding one for $50 is a steal...

Make your own $15 for bulkheads and $15 in pipe go to duruso's site for instructions. $70 bucks for the kit at my LFS, but you have to expect that from a store that sells maxijets for $40

if i were you i would take them back to the store and ask for your money back. i just bought 2 for my 125 and i got them both for 30 bucks each. you can find them cheaper im sure. dont get stuck paying that much.... you could use the cash difference on other stuff, like sand,rock,heaters anything........
