I agree. Most places won't sell them b/c they have no warranty whatsoever. "The kia's of aquariums" That's an awesome analogy for them.lol

hyundais are kinda like having a 90 year old neighbor. He never causes a problem, but then one day you wake up to a wildfire in your back yard

Actually, Kia and Hyundai have merged so they are now one company.
I still vote for the Yugo. While most every car manufacturer has had it's share of flops, all of Yugo's vehicles sucked.

I guess the 120XH I'm getting is going to suck.......no mention of this when you're paying or getting prices though.

Actually, Perfecto and All-Glass are about the same IMO.
Things I like agout AGA:
Cleaner Silicone Job
Customers Recognize the Name
Things I like about Perfecto:
Black Silicone
Overflows rated at 700gph vs 600gph
Comes with Overflow Durso and Return Kit (AGA +$50)
Holes for two 1" bulkheads instead of 1" and 3/4"
Bottom side of overflow bulkheads can be used with PVC pipe instead of Nipples and Hose.
Perfecto is a better tank than is used to be.
There's not much difference between an AGA and Oceanic, although Oceanic is making themselves a premium company (Starphire, Eurobracing, etc)
Does that explain a bit better?

Where the heck did you hear that?
I just got a 75 gallon perfecto RR tank and it comes with a 20 year warranty when placed on their stand.

2 of my LFS have told me not even 3 weeks ago and that is the reason neither one carries Perfecto (or so I was told by the owner of both stores)when I went inquiring about the warranty of Perfecto Vs. AGA. Apparently things have changed and my LFS's are not up to speed.
Sorry Steve, not trying to keep straying from your topic. This is your hay day and your tank.

When Perfecto was bought by Marineland a few years ago, they shut the factory down for a few weeks to address the quality problems. Since then the tanks have had consistantly good quality.

I was looking to get 120 tech that is until the funding vanished. 90 tech should look Great.
