Can you order

Exactly what I'm after here. Maybe I can find one or if all else fails I'll just go over to Gnashtys and create a small leak, he will go buy a new tank and I will be set!!!
 
Dave, are all marinelands removable front panels?
I'm sure the guys at MRC can whip you something up...try them.

My 265, 300 and 150 are all removable front panels. Can't remember about the Marineand 60 gallon cube I had though.

Forgot about MRC. They could do sumfin' for you.
 
I wonder why AGA won't sell em this kinda bothers me. I think I'm gonna try to email them and see if that won't do something for me. Maybe they will have a heart
 
They probably don't sell them because:

1) It's not a removable part (not easily, anyway)

2) It's not a part that tends to break.

3) Since most of their tanks have tempered bottoms, it's unlikely that somebody would have use for one, since if they after-market drill, it's on the back, not the bottom.

4) They'd rather sell you a new RR tank, than an overflow.

5) Never assume the hobbyist could install something like this properly, without it leaking etc. (liability)

Good luck with emailing them - I doubt they'll accommodate (but I could be wrong...) They don't sell direct to hobbyists so they aren't going to "sell" you something and I doubt they'd send them as a freebie. If anything they'll give you a part number to order through a retailer (ie me), it'll be a special order and take a few weeks. (I'm still waiting for a frame for somebody)...

To be honest, I wouldnt guess youd have much luck, either. Replacement parts are one thing, but selling components so that people can make their own "knockoffs" isnt something that manufacturers are interested in. For a number of reasons.

Youd be better off searching for a tank that is leaking with the parts you want and salvaging them, if you really must have them.

Also, FWIW, having owned an AGA with these overflows, I didnt like them stock. I ended up having to cut out and dremel the top teeth out because they were so small and got clogged all the time, and the bottom ones just filled with substrate and debris and coralline. Just my opinion.
