Another Red Sea tank failed

[DriftN201]

Finally moved in to my new house and started setting up my dream tank. Unfortunately, I bought a Red Sea Reefer 250 from someone nearby. The bad silicone was not noticeably when the tank was full and I was not aware of how poorly the Red Sea tanks were made. When I got it home I noticed the silicone starting to separate and read all of the terrible reviews. I contacted Red Sea and they said they were aware of the manufacturer defect but will not offer any warranty. They wouldn't even give me a discount on a new tank. Pretty bummed but very glad I didn't set up this piece of junk. I was able to cancel my order for Red Sea lights, roller mat and return pump and starting over with a new tank.

You dodged a bullet! I made the same mistake a year or so ago, decided to do some research right before I went to fill it…

These things become a LOT more complicated when you get livestock involved in an emergency tank breakdown

I’d return it to that someone nearby.

I’d return it to that someone nearby.

He honestly didn't know and offered to give my money back.

Take the offer.

Wow! The fact they acknowledge that there is a defect with their tanks is crazy!
