Advice on Red Sea reefer 350

[CubanHogFish]

Hi, I've been away from reefing for around 6 years. I'm looking in to coming back in the hobby, i use to have a 125g main display sps dominant tank. I'm looking to start again with a new Red Sea reefer 350 set up gen1. what are your thought on the setup, I've done little research on the setup and I ran into 2 people that have had leaks from the glass seals. I mean I know crap happens but if I can choose something else I would I believe in you get what you pay for. I would really appreciate any advice. thank you

Probably be a good idea to do some extensive research before pulling the trigger on RedSea Gen1.

Thats why I'm in here trying to do more homework on it i know the G2 is out. but other then that i cant find anything else

I've had the gen 1 for 3 years now with no issues but spend the money on a gen 2 instead. There are nice improvements.

I'm getting the gen1 for $1300 brand new is the G2 worth the upgrades

I think so plus you get the reef mat option too. Buy once cry once.

Red Sea Fail, very harsh!! But truthful IMO​

Avoid a g1 unless it’s temporary tank.. hundreds of them have let go after 3 years and is documented on here..

As a Red Sea owner, don't get a gen 1. Idc how "cheap" it is. Save the money up and get a G2 or another brand like Innovative Marine or a Waterbox.

Well then, that changed my mind iw ill be looking into the G2 or something different that guys
